Athena and Owl, Famous Ancient Greek Coin, 133 BC, Amphora on Reverse, Percy Jackson Teen Gift, Great Stocking Stuffer 83S

Description

• Athena and Owl, Goddess of Wisdom, Annabeths Mother, New Style, 133-132 B.C. Size: 29.5 mm. Obverse: Athena with triple-crested Helmet Reverse: Owl standing on Amphora
• The New Style Owls retain the Athena and owl iconography of earlier Owls but change in styling dramatically, becoming considerably more elaborate. Athena now wears a triple-crested helmet, with the helmet crest typically appearing in full on the flan, which is larger and wider than with earlier Owls in conformity with other coins of this period.
• The owl also now sits on an amphora (jug), which refers to Athens' international olive oil trade, and is surrounded by an olive wreath. It is new only in that, as the Roman Empire expanded, Athens found itself under Roman rule and the coin designs changed a little. The 'gladiator' is really a helmeted version of the Greek goddess Athena, goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.
• These are not Ancient Coins. They are new, copyrighted, engravings showing the coin in new, non-circulated condition. They are accurately detailed, using museum quality authentic ancient coins as models. They are accurate in size and imagery. The Coins are cast in the finest quality, solid pewter. If you enjoy ancient history and Greek and Roman Mythology, you will enjoy these coins.
