ABOUT THIS PENDANT
Sicily, Syracuse, time of Dionysios I

Obverse: Head of Arethusa left, ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ
Reverse: Octopus

Mint: 405-395 BC

The pendant measures about 11 mm in width, 18 mm from top to bottom (see comparison photo with other coins). The pendant mount is sterling silver and I have used a prong fitting for this coin.

Dionysius I of Syracuse
Dionysius I or Dionysius the Elder (c.432-367 BC) was a Greek tyrant of Syracuse, in Sicily. He conquered several cities in Sicily and southern Italy, opposed Carthage's influence in Sicily and made Syracuse the most powerful of the Western Greek colonies. He was regarded by the ancients as an example of the worst kind of despot—cruel, suspicious and vindictive


INFO
Welcome to my shop! The pendants here are on average 1700 years old. Just to think of what has happened to it in between makes you feel small! The note has a description that makes clear where and when the coin was struck (see more info on this coin below). If we could only tell where it has been in between! All we know is that it has wandered its way around to you or your friend's neck. 

Each coin has been carefully crafted with its own custom bezel, securing the coin very well in its place. Wearing a coin and knowing its history provide a unique feel. I think they are a great idea for a gift for people that appreciate such a connection with history. Why wear a replica of a coin when you can have the real deal!
