Dubini Demetrius I Ancient Silver Coin Medallion Amethyst Citrine Gold Necklace

About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver coin of Demetrios I minted circa 200-185 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with bullet amethyst and citrine cabochons. MEASUREMENTS Ancient Coin Ø 33mm DEPICTED ON THE COIN Demetrios I, wearing elephant skin headress, on the obverse and Herakles standing facing crowning himself and holding club and lion's skin, on reverse. HISTORY Demetrius I, depicted with an elephant scalp, emulated the victories of Alexander the Great (336-323 B.C.). His conquests in the east were celebrated through various styles of Demetrius' coins. He ruled the Indo-Greek kingdom of Bactria from 200 to 180 BC and minted this coin to commemorate his conquests over territories to the south, in present-day Pakistan. After ascending to the throne, Demetrius launched an invasion of Northern India, extending Greek control into eastern territories. His energy as a conqueror has led historians to suggest that Demetrius subdued more tribes than Alexander the Great. He made Taxila in Punjab his capital, and during his reign, the Greco-Bactrian kingdom reached its greatest extent. By portraying himself with an elephant scalp, Demetrius linked his image to Alexander, who depicted himself with a lion scalp after his Indian conquest. The reverse side of the coin features Hercules, the Greek hero, whom Alexander the Great identified as an ancestor. The inscription reads "BASILEOS DEMETRIOU," translating to "Of King Demetrius". * 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.
