Aesop's Fables Dog Medallion
Our medallion is based on an ancient coin from Segesta, on the island of Sicily. Ancient Segesta, nestled on and around Mount Barbaro in northwestern Sicily, was a prominent Elymian city whose people proudly claimed Trojan ancestry. While Elymian at its core, Segesta eagerly embraced Greek culture, adopting the Greek alphabet for its dialect and building a striking Doric temple that still captures admiration today. The city was not only a cultural crossroads but also a political force, navigating alliances with Athens and Carthage as it sought to shape the shifting power dynamics of Sicily.
Our medallion may be worn as a necklace or a bracelet. It comes with a 22" brown leather cord, as well as your choice of a children's or adult's translated version of a book of Aesop's Fables.
