About the Item

This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver coin from Roman Republic dating circa 90 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with aquamarine cabochons. Coin Ø 19mm Chain Length: 47cm DEPICTED ON COIN: Obverse - Pegasus springing right on tablet inscribed Q • TITI. Reverse - Head of young Bacchus (or Liber) right, wearing ivy wreath. HISTORY: Pegasus, the immortal winged horse, is depicted springing from a tablet with its ornately detailed wings outstretched. The flight of Pegasus symbolises the soul's immortality and bravery. In legend, Bellerophon, the hero who became king of Corinth, rode Pegasus against armies of mortal enemies. Infatuated with his successes, Bellerophon grew arrogant and attempted to fly to Mount Olympus. As punishment, Zeus caused him to fall off Pegasus. The horse lived on Olympus, carrying thunderbolts for Zeus. As a reward for his dedicated service, Zeus placed him in the firmament as the northern constellation of Pegasus. Pegasus' symbolism evolved over centuries, serving diverse needs. In the ancient Greek world, he was primarily associated with success in battle, protection, and duty. Pegasus became an appropriate military emblem and was chosen as the insignia of at least four Roman Republic legions. Issued by the moneyer Q. Titius in 90 B.C., this coin was minted in the Greek style specifically for trading with the Greek towns to the south. The reverse of the coin features Bacchus, also known as Dionysus, the god of wine, festivity, religious ecstasy, and theatre, adorned with an ivy wreath. In the Roman Republic, he was known as Liber and associated with the goddess Ceres, the patron of agriculture, symbolising prosperity and growth. In Greek tradition, Bacchus was the son of Zeus and Semele. He was associated with mystery cults and had a strong connection to the fertility rites at Eleusis, near Athens. The images associated with Bacchus were so iconic that once some equivalence with Liber was established, he was always depicted with Bacchic attributes: ivy wreath, panther, thyrsus, and cantharus. The festival of Liber, the Liberalia, held around the same time of year as the previously banned Bacchanalia was encouraged. In the Republic, this festival was comparatively less wild than the Grecian Bacchanalia and centred around coming-of-age ceremonies for young men, serving a useful social purpose. * 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...
