Dubini King of Persia Ancient Silver Coin Rhodolite Moonstone 18K Gold Necklace

About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic Persian coin minted circa 1-2 century A.D. set in 18K yellow gold with rhodolite garnet and moonstone bullet cabochons. Coin Ø 18mm Necklace length 42cm HISTORY Profile of Osroes II, Parthian monarch, detailed with a tapered beard and wearing an intricate tiara adorned with pellets and pendants along the diadem. The Parthian Kingdom, founded around 238 B.C., eventually grew to encompass a vast territory with the military strength to challenge Rome. Reigning for nearly 500 years, the Parthians represent one of the most significant dynasties of the post-Hellenistic and pre-Islamic Middle East. This Iranian dynasty revived pre-Hellenistic traditions, such as royal titles and regalia, which were subsequently inherited by the Sasanians and later Islamic dynasties. Coins from Osroes II's reign were minted at Ecbatana, suggesting he controlled Media. Flipping the coin displays an archer seated, holding a bow and encircled in an inscription with the name of Osroes. The figure has also been typified as the figure of Arsaces I, the first king of Parthia and the founder of the Arsacid Dynasty. Due to Arsaces’ achievements as monarch and conqueror, his name was used as a royal honorific and was celebrated throughout the Parthian kingdom. * 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.

Dubini Capitoline Wolf Ancient Bronze Coin 18K Gold Necklace
By DUBINI
Located in London, GB
This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic Roman Imperial coin minted circa 330-335 A.D. set in 18K yellow gold. Coin Ø 19mm Chain length: 47 cm DEPICTED ON COIN: She-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus with stars above on the obverse and helmeted bust of Roma on reverse. HISTORY A commemorative coin featuring the iconic she-wolf, affectionately nurturing the infant twins Romulus and Remus. This striking depiction honours the legendary foundation of Rome, a timeless tale intertwined with the identity of Constantine the Great as he sought to solidify his stature as the supreme ruler of the Empire. According to the revered myth, Romulus and Remus, children of the god Mars and the vestal Rhea Silvia, a descendant of Aeneas, were abandoned in the wild and suckled by a she-wolf. As they grew, the twins founded Rome, but a dispute over which hill to build upon led to Remus's tragic death. The enduring "wolf and twins" motif has graced countless Roman coins since the Republic era, symbolising Rome's origins and resilience. Considered one of the first ever commemorative coins, this piece by Constantine the Great was likely a strategic celebration of Rome. By honouring the city's legendary founders, Constantine emphasised the Roman Empire's continuity and its profound cultural heritage, despite the political shift to the new capital in Constantinople. The reverse of this coin features the helmeted profile of Roma, the divine patron and personification of the city. Depicted as a warrior, she dons a helmet and armour...
