About the Item

In this remarkable sterling silver pendant, a genuine Greek coin from the 1st century BC takes center stage. The obverse features the diademed head of Ptolemy XII, adorned with an aegis, symbolizing his divine protection and royal authority. On the reverse, an eagle stands proudly upon a thunderbolt, embodying power, strength, and the divine favor that guided his rule. Ptolemy XII, also known as Ptolemy Auletes, was the last ruler of Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty before Cleopatra ascended to the throne. His reign, often marked by conflict and political instability, saw his eventual exile and subsequent restoration to power with the help of Rome. A ruler caught between Egyptian tradition and Roman political influence, Ptolemy XII's rule left a lasting imprint on the history of both Egypt and the wider Mediterranean world. This coin, minted in the Greek style, reflects the fusion of Egyptian and Hellenistic elements that defined the Ptolemaic era. The eagle on the reverse, poised on the thunderbolt, signifies not only the might of the gods but also the military and political power that secured Ptolemy XII's throne. Our jewelry store, Serra Roma, proudly presents an exquisite collection that beautifully honors the ancient traditions of Greek and Roman civilizations. Each piece in our collection, including authentic ancient Roman and Greek coins and intaglios, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, providing proof of its historical significance and origin.
