This delicate charm necklace features a genuine Greek Dionysus coin from around 148-80 B.C. set in a 14k gold bezel setting.
DIONYSUS - The ancient Greek god of the wine harvest, and thereby wine and revelry as well as theatre. Performance and art were foundations of the Cult of Dionysus; and his followers are accredited with the birth of organized theatre.
HERCULES (or Heracles) is the famous demigod son of Zeus. He is known for his conquest of many mythological monsters along with many other heroic feats. Mark Anthony and Commodus both considered him their personal patron god. Hercules has been a heroic figure that has captured the attention of popular culture throughout the ages.
