About the Item
This DUBINI coin bracelet from the 'Empires' collection features an authentic silver didrachm coin minted circa 300-280 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with braided calfskin bracelet.
DEPICTED ON THE COIN
Obverse: Lion walking right, above Φ, pentagram and I; in exergue, ΥΕΛΕΤΩΝ.
Reverse: Head of Athena right, wearing Attic helmet decorated with griffin; above helmet, Δ.
HISTORY
A beautifully detailed lion in motion, below an intricate pentagram. As an ultimate emblem of power and strength, the lion champions the prosperity of Velia.
Throughout the Grecian world, lions were revered as symbols of wisdom, ferocity, and dominance. They appear frequently in Greek mythology, most famously as the Nemean Lion, which Hercules defeated in the first of his Twelve Labours. Other mythological representations include the Sphinx, with the body of a lioness and the head and breasts of a woman, and the Chimera, which had the forepart of a lion.
Above the lion are the Greek letters Φ and Ι, flanking a pentagram, likely referencing the renowned mathematician Pythagoras. Lucania, where Velia is located, had strong ties to the Pythagorean school. Aresas of Lucania, a notable philosopher, led the school after fleeing Croton due to hostility toward Pythagoreanism. Velia itself was culturally significant, known for the Eleatic School of philosophy founded by Parmenides, a celebrated thinker and writer.
The reverse side of the coin features the head of Athena, adorned with an elaborate Attic helmet decorated with a griffin. Athena, representing wisdom, courage, justice, and strategic warfare, was widely worshipped, especially in Athens, the city named in her honour. The recent discovery of a temple dedicated to Athena in Velia highlights her veneration in the area.

DEPICTED ON THE COIN
Obverse: Facing head of Medusa with disheveled hair; serpents on either side; L•PLA[VTIVS] below.
Reverse: Aurora, flying right, head facing slightly left, holding reins in each hand and conducting four rearing horses of the Sun; PLANCVS below.
HISTORY
The striking head of Medusa, the legendary Gorgon, is framed by exquisitely detailed curls and serpents. This captivating depiction captures Medusa's mythic power as an apotropaic symbol, believed to repel other evils with her petrifying gaze.
Once a beautiful mortal, Medusa incurred Athena's wrath when Poseidon violated her in the goddess's temple. In retribution, Athena transformed Medusa into a snake-haired killer with menacing teeth and brass claws. This act is interpreted as either a severe punishment or a means of protecting Medusa from further violation.
Beheaded by the legendary hero Perseus, Medusa’s severed head retained its formidable power to turn anyone who gazed upon it into stone. In a twist of fate, this head became a divine talisman, gifted to Athena and embedded on her aegis. Its presence shielded Athena in countless battles, and even the mighty Zeus adorned his breastplate with the Gorgoneion for added protection.
The reverse displays either Aurora, the goddess of dawn, flying forward and leading the four horses of the sun, or Victory, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Nike...
