Ancient Romans credited topaz with preventing sickness of the chest and abdominal pain. Both Julius Caesar and his heir Octavian Augustus held Apollo in special reverence. Augustus credited Apollo with his victory of Marc Antony, and erected a magnificent temple to Apollo at Actium overlooking the site of the famous naval battle, as well as an even grander temple on the Palatine in Rome.

Perfect for Use with Amulets or Pendants. SIZE: Diameter: 2mm. Length: 16 inches. All measurements approximate. DETAIL: A high quality(solid. Not formed) 2mm black leather cord with Brass fasteners. The cord is produced in Greece following leather-making traditions which are thousands of years old. Leather making is an ancient art that has been practiced for more than 7,000 years. Together with wood, leather formed the basis of much ancient technology. Prehistoric and primitive peoples preserved pelts with grease and smoke and used them chiefly for shoes, garments, furniture, scrolls, gloves, coverings, body armor, helmets, shields, slings, cord, tents, and containers. Ancient cords were used to mount and wear amulets and pendants. Besides strips of leather, cords were oftentimes made of bark strips such as from the cedar or from the sinew(tendon) of an animal. Ropes were made by twisting two fibers together, in opposite directions, which causes the individual strands to lock(press) onto each other making a stronger. The process of leather making treats animal skins and hides so as to preserve them and make them suitable for use. Tanning converts the otherwise perishable skin to a stable and nondecaying material. Though the skins of such diverse animals as ostrich. Lizard, eel, and kangaroo have been used, the more common leathers come from cattle, including calf and ox; sheep and lamb; goat and kid; horse, mule, and zebra; buffalo; pig and hog; and seal, walrus, whale, and alligator.

Ancient Greek jewelers made extensive use of aquamarine, which came to them via Arabian camel caravan and ocean-going Mediterranean galleys. Greek naval warriors and merchantmen oftentimes wore aquamarine talismans, engraved with the likeness of Poseidon(Neptune” to their successors the Romans) as protection against dangers at sea. The ancient first century Roman Philosopher/Historian Pliny wrote, the lovely aquamarine, which seems to have come from some mermaid’s treasure house, in the depths of a summer sea, has charms not to be denied.

These coins were used for most daily transactions by administrators and traders throughout the empire.
