About the Item
This unique DUBINI necklace showcases an authentic silver hemidrachm coin set in 18K yellow gold.
COIN SPECIFICATIONS:
- Diameter: Ø 16mm
HISTORY:
A majestic wolf is depicted on the obverse, its forepart advancing to the right, symbolising vigilance, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of Argos. The wolf, a sacred animal often associated with the city’s mythological past and ties to Apollo Lykeios (wolf-god), conveys Argos' historical identity as a center of strength and cultural prestige.
The reverse displays a large "A," the initial of Argos, surrounded by the inscription "ΞENOΦIΛOY," referencing the magistrate Xenophilos. Beneath the inscription lies the radiant head of Helios, the sun god, within an incuse square. The image of Helios, representing divine guidance, enlightenment, and prosperity, emphasises the city’s aspirations for flourishing growth under the watchful eye of its patron deities.
Argos, one of the oldest and most storied city-states in Greece, held a prominent role in the ancient world due to its legendary heritage, artistic achievements, and military strength. The wolf's presence on the coin connects to local mythology and civic pride, while the inclusion of Helios underscores a desire for divine favour and prosperity.

DEPICTED ON COIN:

HISTORY
A commemorative coin featuring the iconic she-wolf, affectionately nurturing the infant twins Romulus and Remus. This striking depiction honours the legendary foundation of Rome, a timeless tale intertwined with the identity of Constantine the Great as he sought to solidify his stature as the supreme ruler of the Empire.
According to the revered myth, Romulus and Remus, children of the god Mars and the vestal Rhea Silvia, a descendant of Aeneas, were abandoned in the wild and suckled by a she-wolf. As they grew, the twins founded Rome, but a dispute over which hill to build upon led to Remus's tragic death. The enduring "wolf and twins" motif has graced countless Roman coins since the Republic era, symbolising Rome's origins and resilience.
Considered one of the first ever commemorative coins, this piece by Constantine the Great was likely a strategic celebration of Rome. By honouring the city's legendary founders, Constantine emphasised the Roman Empire's continuity and its profound cultural heritage, despite the political shift to the new capital in Constantinople.
The reverse of this coin features the helmeted profile of Roma, the divine patron and personification of the city. Depicted as a warrior, she dons a helmet and armour...
