Antiochus VII Tetradrachm Pendant with Diamond Clasp (100 - 90 BCE)

Obverse:  King Antiochus VII Euergetes  
Reverse:  Athena with spear and shield

Circa 100-90 BCE  

Antiochos VII was the last of the Seleucid kings who attempted to reclaim the once-mighty empire. His reign was occupied by fruitless battles and ephemeral victories ending with ancient Syria as his only domain.  Antiochos was the son of Demetrios I Soter (reigned 161–150 BC).

Coins from the Seleucid period like these are thought to be some of the most beautiful and sought after due to the detail and romantic portraiture of the image.  

This piece is handsome on a simple leather rope or mixed with a sterling chain.  The genuine diamond clip bail allows you to add charms and hook on any chain to mix and match.
