About the Item

Discover a genuine Roman coin pendant from 82 BC, featuring a bow with arrow between two coiled serpents on the front and a mystic cista on the reverse. This remarkable piece was minted in Pergamon, as indicated by the mint monogram on the left and the eagle on the right. The mystic cista, a ritual container of Greek origin, is rich in symbolism. In mythology, the cista often represents mystery and initiation, symbols of purification and protection. The coiled serpents that adorn the front of the cista are known to symbolize healing and protection and have been associated with gods like Asclepius, the god of medicine. On the reverse of the coin, the image of a bow with arrow symbolizes the connection to the god of war and hunting, Artemis (Diana in Roman mythology). The bow, nestled between the serpents, also suggests themes of protection and defense. The eagle, representing divine power and authority, is linked to the city of Pergamon, a center of great historical and cultural significance in antiquity. Our jewelry store, Serra Roma, proudly presents an exquisite collection that beautifully honors the ancient traditions of Greek and Roman civilizations. Each piece in our collection, including authentic ancient Roman and Greek coins and intaglios, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, providing proof of its historical significance and origin.
