About the Item
This DUBINI coin bracelet from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver denarius coin minted circa 47 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with braided calfskin bracelet.
DEPICTED ON THE COIN
Obverse: Facing head of Medusa with disheveled hair; serpents on either side; L•PLA[VTIVS] below.
Reverse: Aurora, flying right, head facing slightly left, holding reins in each hand and conducting four rearing horses of the Sun; PLANCVS below.
HISTORY
The striking head of Medusa, the legendary Gorgon, is framed by exquisitely detailed curls and serpents. This captivating depiction captures Medusa's mythic power as an apotropaic symbol, believed to repel other evils with her petrifying gaze.
Once a beautiful mortal, Medusa incurred Athena's wrath when Poseidon violated her in the goddess's temple. In retribution, Athena transformed Medusa into a snake-haired killer with menacing teeth and brass claws. This act is interpreted as either a severe punishment or a means of protecting Medusa from further violation.
Beheaded by the legendary hero Perseus, Medusa’s severed head retained its formidable power to turn anyone who gazed upon it into stone. In a twist of fate, this head became a divine talisman, gifted to Athena and embedded on her aegis. Its presence shielded Athena in countless battles, and even the mighty Zeus adorned his breastplate with the Gorgoneion for added protection.
The reverse displays either Aurora, the goddess of dawn, flying forward and leading the four horses of the sun, or Victory, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Nike, and the goddess of victory in both war and peace. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that Aurora raced across the sky in her chariot daily, alerting her brother and sister, the sun and the moon, to the breaking of a new day.
These intertwined symbols of Medusa and Aurora or Victory represent protection, renewal, and triumph. This coin seamlessly merges ancient myth with enduring symbols of hope and security, making it an emblem of strength and inspiration.
