About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic coin from 116-101 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with sky topaz and swiss topaz bullet cabochons. DEPICTED ON THE COIN: Young Ariarathes VII Philometor on the obverse, Athena standing holding Nike, spear and shield, in the field monograms on reverse. HISTORY Profile of the diademed head of the King of Cappadocia from the Ariarathid Dynasty. After Alexander the Great ended Persian rule, Ariarathes, a Persian aristocrat, regained control of Cappadocia and became its first king. Ariarathes I proved to be a capable ruler, expanding the kingdom's borders westward to the Black Sea. Following Alexander's death, Perdiccas appointed Eumenes to govern the region. Despite facing defeat, capture, and crucifixion, Ariarathes I's son reclaimed the kingdom during the ensuing Macedonian turmoil. The dynasty, named predominantly after its founder, continued to rule. Under Ariarathes IV, Cappadocia allied with Rome, maintaining its autonomy until A.D. 17, when Tiberius reclassified it as a Roman province. The obverse depicts Athena Nikephoros, bearing a spear. Nike, considered an aspect of the Greek goddess Athena, is portrayed here specifically as the bringer of victory. * 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 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...
