About the Item

This unique DUBINI necklace showcases an authentic silver hemidrachm coin set in 18K yellow gold. COIN SPECIFICATIONS: - Diameter: Ø 16mm HISTORY: A majestic wolf is depicted on the obverse, its forepart advancing to the right, symbolising vigilance, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of Argos. The wolf, a sacred animal often associated with the city’s mythological past and ties to Apollo Lykeios (wolf-god), conveys Argos' historical identity as a center of strength and cultural prestige. The reverse displays a large "A," the initial of Argos, surrounded by the inscription "ΞENOΦIΛOY," referencing the magistrate Xenophilos. Beneath the inscription lies the radiant head of Helios, the sun god, within an incuse square. The image of Helios, representing divine guidance, enlightenment, and prosperity, emphasises the city’s aspirations for flourishing growth under the watchful eye of its patron deities. Argos, one of the oldest and most storied city-states in Greece, held a prominent role in the ancient world due to its legendary heritage, artistic achievements, and military strength. The wolf's presence on the coin connects to local mythology and civic pride, while the inclusion of Helios underscores a desire for divine favour and prosperity. * 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 Capitoline Wolf Ancient Bronze Coin 18K Gold Necklace
By DUBINI
Located in London, GB
This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic Roman Imperial coin minted circa 330-335 A.D. set in 18K yellow gold. Coin Ø 19mm Chain length: 47 cm DEPICTED ON COIN: She-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus with stars above on the obverse and helmeted bust of Roma on reverse. HISTORY A commemorative coin featuring the iconic she-wolf, affectionately nurturing the infant twins Romulus and Remus. This striking depiction honours the legendary foundation of Rome, a timeless tale intertwined with the identity of Constantine the Great as he sought to solidify his stature as the supreme ruler of the Empire. According to the revered myth, Romulus and Remus, children of the god Mars and the vestal Rhea Silvia, a descendant of Aeneas, were abandoned in the wild and suckled by a she-wolf. As they grew, the twins founded Rome, but a dispute over which hill to build upon led to Remus's tragic death. The enduring "wolf and twins" motif has graced countless Roman coins since the Republic era, symbolising Rome's origins and resilience. Considered one of the first ever commemorative coins, this piece by Constantine the Great was likely a strategic celebration of Rome. By honouring the city's legendary founders, Constantine emphasised the Roman Empire's continuity and its profound cultural heritage, despite the political shift to the new capital in Constantinople. The reverse of this coin features the helmeted profile of Roma, the divine patron and personification of the city. Depicted as a warrior, she dons a helmet and armour...

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...
