AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Encapsulated silver-metal pendant, for better preservation, with Apamea bronze from Phrygia minted between 88-40 B.C. A series famous for the portrayal of the satyr Marsyas, a figure deeply rooted in the region's mythology. Apamea was an important commercial center located at the source of the Marsyas River. It is linked to a modern 925 silver cord-type chain.
Obverse; bust of Artemis-Tyche with a turret to the right, with an arch and quiver over the shoulder.
Reverse; Marsyas advancing to the right, playing the aulos.
According to legend, the musical contest between Marsyas and Apollo took place near Apamea. This coin represents the cultural identity and civic pride of one of the most prosperous cities of Hellenistic Asia Minor.
It is sent with a legal declarations sheet.
Customs costs outside the EU will be borne by the winning bidder.
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.
