Dekadrachm of Syracuse/One of the Thirty Pieces of Silver |
||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Archaeological Object. A pendant made from a silver coin, the dekadrachm (ten-drachma) of Syracuse, set in a gold mount with a suspension loop. The front face shows a female head surrounded by four dolphins, possibly Arethusa or Persephone. The reverse shows a chariot pulled by four horses and a charioteer. The goddess of victory Nike flies overhead to crown the charioteers head with a wreath. This coin is reputed to be one of the so-called thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas for betraying Christ. This belief comes from the Middle Ages. |
