About the Item
This remarkable 18 kt gold ring elegantly frames an authentic silver litra from ancient Sicily, struck in the city of Eryx around 460–450 BC. The obverse of the ring displays a finely detailed image of a hound in motion, symbolizing loyalty, vigilance, and hunting prowess in ancient Greek culture. On the underside, visible to the wearer, rests the serene visage of a female head—possibly a local deity or nymph—rendered with graceful Hellenic artistry.
Meticulously handcrafted, this piece is a true marriage of ancient heritage and modern craftsmanship. The coin, just 11 mm in diameter and struck in AR (silver), reflects the refined aesthetics and symbolic depth of Classical Greek numismatics.
Eryx, a city once known for its sanctuary of Aphrodite and strategic location in western Sicily, produced coinage that echoed both spiritual reverence and civic pride. The hound, often associated with protection and companionship, may have held local cult significance or represented the guardian spirit of the city. The female figure, likely a personification of beauty or divinity, evokes the refined values and mythic traditions of early Sicilian Greek colonies.
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.
