About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic Roman bronze coin minted circa 295-299 A.D. set in 18K yellow gold with bullet blue topaz and moonstone cabochons. Coin Ø 17mm Chain Length 47cm DEPICTED ON COIN Diocletian, on the obverse and prince standing right in military dress receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter standing left, on reverse. HISTORY Diocletian, was a Roman emperor from A.D. 284 to 305. Born to a family of low status in Dalmatia, Diocletian rose through the ranks of the military to become Roman cavalry commander to the Emperor Carus. After the deaths of Carus and his son Numerian on campaign in Persia, Diocletian was proclaimed emperor. The title was also claimed by Carus’ surviving son, Carinus, but Diocletian defeated him in the Battle of the Margus. Diocletian’s reign stabilised the empire and marks the end of the Crisis of the Third Century. He appointed fellow officer Maximian as Augustus, co-emperor, in A.D. 286. Diocletian reigned in the Eastern Empire, and Maximian reigned in the Western Empire. Diocletian delegated further on 1 March 293, appointing Galerius and Constantius as Caesars, junior co-emperors, under himself and Maximian respectively. Under this ‘tetrarchy’, or “rule of four”, each emperor would rule over a quarter-division of the empire. Diocletian secured the empire’s borders and purged it of all threats to his power. * This piece is provided with a Certificate of Authenticity. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Dubini Dioscuri Twins Ancient Silver Coin Pendant 18 Karat Yellow Gold Necklace
By DUBINI
Located in London, GB
This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver coin from Istros, Moesia dating circa 4th century B.C. set in 18kt yellow gold with peridot and aquamarine cabochons. Coin Ø 19mm Chain Length: 47cm (can be customised upon request) Depicted on the coin: Obverse - Two young male heads facing, side by side, one upright, the other inverted. Reverse - Sea-eagle left attacking dolphin; monogram below. HISTORY This unique design features two youthful male heads positioned side by side, one upright and the other inverted. This captivating motif has been variously interpreted as representing the Dioscuri, the rising and setting sun, or the two branches of the river Danube. The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, epitomised courage and bravery and were especially revered by soldiers and cavalry. Renowned as protectors of sailors, they were believed to have the power to calm seas and still winds. In Rome, their legendary intervention at the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 B.C. secured a pivotal victory for the Romans against the Latins. Their legacy was celebrated with annual games featuring horse racing on January 27th, highlighting their strong association with horsemanship. The constellation Gemini is intrinsically linked to the Dioscuri. Sharing the same mother, Leda, Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine offspring of Zeus. Together, they joined Jason on the Argo and famously saved the ship from a deadly storm. When Castor perished in battle, Pollux implored Zeus to reunite them. Zeus granted this wish, immortalising them in the stars and allowing them to alternate between Earth and the heavens. Sailors who spotted the twin stars...
