Origin: Mediterranean Circa: 222 AD to 235 AD Collection: Coin Jewelry Style: Roman Medium: Bronze and Gold Additional Information: This Genuine Ancient Coin Has Been Set in a Modern 18 karat Gold Niece of the Empress Julia Domna and aunt to Emperor Elagabalus, Julia Mamaea was part of an illustrious Syrian family with imperial connections.

She exercised strict control over the young ruler, and selected a wife for him.

Beauty was also a notable characteristic of this great Syrian dynasty, which is evident on the obverse of this fine coin.

Origin: Mediterranean Circa: 244 AD to 249 AD Collection: Jewelry Style: Roman Coin Pendant Medium: Silver and Gold The reign of Marcus Julius Philippus, Philip I,  More »

Origin: Mediterranean Circa: 244 AD to 249 AD Collection: Jewelry Style: Roman Coin Pendant Medium: Silver and Gold The reign of Marcus Julius Philippus, Philip I, (nicknamed "the Arab" after the origin of his family) is clouded in history by the way it began. As Praetorian Prefect to Gordian III, Philip may have been instrumental in the murder of the young Emperor. Already in practical control of the Empire, Philip was the obvious choice to succeed. What little history of the period that survives indicates he was a good ruler who faced many challenges successfully. Like Septimius Severus nearly 50 years earlier, Philip was a family man with certain desires to establish a dynasty. Soon after his own elevation he named his wife (Otacilia Severa) Augusta and his son (Philip II) Caesar. After a very few years, again following the model of Septimius, Phillip II was made Augustus and placed even with his father to insure his eventual succession. The inherent splendor of the precious metals is allowed to shine in this pendant. The natural hues of the silver and the gold complement each other. In this pendant, the present and the past combine. The classic reserved form of the modern gold setting frames the timeless beauty and majesty of the ancient coin. To wear this pendant is to reconnect with the past while simultaneously exhibiting style and elegance that is both contemporary and timeless. - (FJ.7004)   « Less

He was born in 86 A.D. Around 133-136, he served in Asia as proconsul, and there he earned the respect of Emperor Hadrian. After Hadrian's return from the Jewish war, Antoninus was made a member of his council not only on grounds of friendships and family connection, but also because of his experience as a jurist and administrator. After the sudden death of Lucius Aelius Caesar, Antoninus was officially adopted by Hadrian on February 25, 138 as successor to the throne.
