JESUS CHRIST Genuine Ancient Byzantine Bronze Coin Silver Pendant

Discover a captivating sterling silver pendant set with an authentic bronze coin from the 10th century AD, depicting the face of Jesus Christ. On the reverse, an inscription proclaims "Jesus Christ, King of Kings."

Minted under the Byzantine Emperor Basil II, this coin reflects an era of fervent Christian faith and expansive imperial power. Basil II's reign, which lasted 50 years, was one of the longest in Byzantine history, and his accomplishments were as impressive as they were enduring.

Known as "Basil the Bulgar Slayer," Basil II famously subdued the Bulgarian Empire after a series of hard-fought campaigns, securing Byzantine dominance in the Balkans. His relentless campaign culminated in the Battle of Kleidion in 1014, where Basil won. Beyond the battlefield, Basil II focused on fortifying the empire’s borders and implementing reforms to protect small landowners' rights and curb the aristocracy's power. These policies not only bolstered the empire’s military might by stabilizing the agrarian economy but also helped ensure the loyalty of his soldiers, many of whom regarded Basil as a father figure due to his active involvement and leadership in the field.
