Ancient Roman 1st Century Bce Julius Caesar Coin 18k Gold Pendant
About the Item
An authentic silver "denarius" coin from 49-48 BCE portrays an elephant trampling a serpent on one of the few coins that bears the name "CAESAR" minted by the Roman general Julius Caesar. The elephant on this coin is a powerful symbol of victory and military might. It was a known tactic in ancient warfare to use elephants, which were the largest and strongest animals known to the Romans. Caesar himself famously used elephants in his campaigns. This elephant may symbolize Caesar's Gallic campaign against Ariovistus in the battle of Vosges in 58 BCE. The coin may have been intended to promote Caesar's image as a military leader and to inspire loyalty and support among his troops and allies. The reverse features a group of religious symbols: a culullus, aspergillum, an axe decorated with animal imagery, and an apex. This rare and sought after ancient coin is set within a Steven Battelle designed "Doubled Jawan" handmade granulated 18K gold setting. This pendant is sent with a laminated lifetime coin certificate of authenticity. The 18K handmade hammered chain shown is not included, but can be ordered additionally. It comes in 18”, 20”, and 24” lengths. We discount our chains 20% when ordered with a pendant. Historic!

Steven Battelle
Using ancient coins and traditional Balinese gem setting techniques, Steven Battelle’s jewelry offers history in the palm of your hand. The American jewelry designer and his team create pieces inspired by and incorporating historic coinage and materials used in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Asia.
Battelle first encountered cabochon stones, which are gemstones polished and shaped rather than faceted, on a trip to Southeast Asia in 1987. A predecessor of modern jewelry, cabochons inspired Battelle to pursue a jewelry hobby while continuing to work as a veterinarian for exotic animals.
He became fascinated with the ornamentation styles used by ancient Majapahit Java and Siam cultures, eventually transitioning from veterinarian work to designing jewelry full-time. He developed a partnership with Balinese jewelry makers, a collaboration which became a key component in realizing his designs.
The Balinese partners hand-make each piece using traditional methods that have been passed down for generations. While conventional blow torches and modern tools are used in much of the work, the heart of the jewelry’s creation is grounded in an artisanal approach.

- Ancient Roman Republic 1st Century BC Griffin Coin Diamond 18K Gold PendantBy Steven BattelleLocated in Soquel, CAAn interesting, authentic, silver denarius coin from the period of the Roman Republic in 79 BCE, featuring a griffin leaping, is set in a Steven Battelle ancient inspired handmade matte-finish textured bezel mount with 1.8mm VS1 diamond accent. The denarius was approximately the daily wage of a soldier in ancient Rome. This particular type of coin is known as a denarius serratus. The ragged edges of the coin are intentional (all coins of this type have them) to show that coin is pure silver. The minting of the coins was an annual office shared by 3 men, and they often placed the family name on the coins. This coin was minted by moneyer L. Papius, who was probably from Lanuvium, which was about 19 miles outside of Rome. The reverse side of the coin displays...Category
