Dubini Athena Ancient Silver Coin Medallion 18 Karat Yellow Gold Necklace
About the Item
This DUBINI coin necklace from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver coin from Heraclea, Lucania dating circa 350 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with rose-cut diamonds.
Coin Ø 20-22mm
Chain Length: 47cm
Depicted on the coin:
Obverse - Head of Athena right, in Corinthian helmet decorated with Skylla hurling a stone.
Reverse - Herakles standing facing, upper torso turned right, wrestling with the Nemean lion; club to left.
HISTORY
This Heraclean coin displays the classic Corinthian design featuring Athena on the obverse, adorned with a Corinthian helmet. The helmet's beautifully detailed Scylla motif and striking plume enhance the goddess's bold appearance.
In Greek mythology and religion, Athena represents wisdom, courage, justice, and strategic warfare. She was widely worshipped but is primarily associated with Athens, to which she gave her name. Her emergence as the city goddess, Athena Polias, accompanied the ancient city-state’s transition from monarchy to democracy, as she was the embodiment of practical reason and statecraft.
Heraclea began minting coins to the Achaian standard shortly after its foundation. Athena on the obverse pays homage to its Ionic, Athenian, heritage, while the reverse reflects the Dorian influence of the Tarantines, showcasing Heracles (Hercules) in dynamic combat with the mythological Nemean lion, the first of his twelve Labours. This exquisitely detailed depiction of Heracles, shown nude and battling the lion, serves as a powerful emblem of the city's strength and resilience.
Approximately 2,700 years ago, as ancient Greece faced dwindling farmland, large populations migrated to Sicily and Southern Italy, a region known as Magna Graecia. While most cities were established during the early settlement period around 700-600 B.C., Heraclea was founded around 430 B.C. as a strategic compromise between the Athenians and the Tarantines, who were both vying for control of the nearby city of Siris.
