About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic Parthian coin of King Gotarzes II (A.D. 40-51) AR Drachm set in 18K yellow gold. Coin Ø 18mm Necklace length 42cm HISTORY The Parthian king, depicted with finely detailed hair and beard, is adorned in traditional regal attire. His diadem or rounded tiara, embellished with intricate ornamentation and a beaded border, reflects his royal status and authority. Before the 3rd century B.C., the region that would become Parthia was a satrapy of the Seleucid Empire. This changed when Arsaces I, leader of the Parthian tribe, led a successful rebellion, establishing the Parthian Kingdom. The Parthians became renowned warriors, particularly noted for their exceptional skills with the bow and horse. Their cavalry was famous for executing the "Parthian shot," where riders turned backwards to shoot a composite bow while riding at full gallop. This manoeuvre required immense skill, leg strength, and equestrian mastery, especially as stirrups had not yet been invented. Despite multiple attempts by Rome to conquer the Parthian kingdom, they remained undefeated and experienced a prosperous golden age during the 2nd century A.D., as evidenced by the surviving ancient coinage. The reverse design of the coin reflects Parthian military prowess, depicting a throned figure, presumably Arsaces I, holding a bow, with a Greek legend detailed below. Like the majority of Parthian art, architecture, and religious beliefs, this coin depicts a melting pot of various Persian, Hellenistic, and regional cultural styles. * This piece is provided with a Certificate of Authenticity. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The Empires Collection playfully delights in ancient stories and myths whilst tapping into the rich history of Italian craftsmanship. The coins have been carefully selected for their value, beauty and as witnesses of a bygone era. Within a clean and classic context, Empires merges past and present, creating timeless pieces with an irresistible edge.
