AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Encapsulated silver-plated metal pendant, for better preservation, with AE bronze unit. Struck in Amisos (region of Pontus) between 125–100 BC during the reign of Mithridates VI Eupator, who waged hard wars against the Roman Republic. It is linked to a modern snake/cord-type chain in 925 sterling silver.

Obverse: bust of the Goddess Artemis with a diadem and tied-back hair.

Reverse: bow and quiver, hunting attributes of Artemis. Inscription "Amisos".

Seller's Story

Thousands of years ago, in the ancient cities of Greece, the AGORA was the heart of the community. It was not just a market; it was the place where people gathered to share ideas, discover the world, and marvel at knowledge. Today, that spirit is reborn, but on a much larger scale. Welcome to AGORA. Our story doesn't begin decades ago, but billions of years ago. It begins in the vacuum of space, where the violent birth of a star forged the METEORITES that you can touch with your own hands today. It continues beneath the Earth's crust, where the patience of the Earth combined heat, pressure, and time to sculpt the perfect geometry of the MINERALS. And finally, it meets us through ARCHAEOLOGY: the fragments of vases, tools, and coins that our ancestors left behind as clues to who we are. At AGORA we believe that the most valuable objects are not those that shine on the outside, but those that have a story to tell. We are not just a store; we are a meeting point between the cosmos, the Earth, and humanity. Each piece in our display cases is an authentic fragment of eternity. A witness of the Big Bang, a secret buried for millennia, or a relic of a lost civilization. Entering here is the beginning of a journey through time. We invite you to discover your own fragment of history.
