This ancient coin is set in an 18 karat gold ring.

Antioch was famous in antiquity for its wealth and luxury. The capital of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire, Antioch was a major center for the arts and trade during the Roman Empire and remained an important city in Byzantine times through the crusader era.
