Pegasos - Domitian denarius
Sharp denarius with great symbolism.
To appreciate its size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter (coming soon). The coin was first set in a gold bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last.
Coin information:
Domitian - silver denarius
Obverse: head, laureate, right
Reverse: Pegasus standing right, raising foreleg
Struck A.D. 69-81, in Rome
Pegasos, the celebrated winged horse, and symbol of Corinth, was sired by Poseidon in his role as horse-god, and sprung from the blood of Medusa. Flying to Helicon he struck the earth with his hoof creating the fountain of Hippocrene, sacred to the nine muses. Pegasos was thus a symbol of Apollo, the God of Poetry and Song, who presided over the muses. Bellerophon rode Pegasos in his combat with the Chimaera.

Why buy from us? I see a lot of pre-made bezels, that are made for modern coins passing as "handmade" jewelry. Each of our coins is carefully handset in a custom made bezel which takes time and skill.
