Julius Caesar Authentic HISTORIC Silver Elephant Denaris Coin Ring
Simply one of the most Famous and sought after Ancient Roman Coins. I had someone test wear this and people couldn’t stop asking about it! One of Julius Caesar’s most famous coin issues is the elephant denarius. The reverse features a group of religious symbols The obverse, the denarius shows a right facing elephant with the word “CAESAR” this coin was used to pay eight legions. Dated to 49 B. C, The elephant may symbolize Caesar’s Gallic campaign against Ariovistus in the battle of Vosges in 58 BC, especially if the object on which the elephant treads is a Gallic war trumpet. But this object could arguably be a snake, meaning that the coin communicates the victory of good over evil. Among other propagandizing purposes, it could have been intended to humiliate the self-important and supercilious Pompey, who had tried to associate himself with Alexander by riding a symbol associated with Alexander the Great, the elephant, in his triumphal procession. Pompey had, embarrassingly, failed to actually manoeuvre the animal into the city. The image might represent the snake as a natural enemy of the elephant. The religious symbols associate Caesar with his prestigious pontifical position as the head of Rome’s religious hierarchy. Caesar had been Pontifex Maximus since 63 B. The symbols are similar to the augural ones that are more common on Republican Roman coins, including the lituus. Because Caesar did not become an augur until 47 B. C, and since the coin is dated to, at the earliest, the 50s, or more likely 49, it should be noted the symbols here are not augural. However the view of some scholars suggest that the imagery of the elephant suggests that Julius Caesar considered himself on the same footing as famous military generals such as Alexander the Great and Hannibal. THE SETTING is Sterling silver Size 11 Actually the band is very comfortable and easy to fine tune (you don’t even know your wearing it fit) Total ring weight is a hefty 15.73 grams This is certainly “one of a Kind” Sure to get inquisitive compliments and conversation.
