Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, others that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again. Most accounts say that it lived for 500 years before rebirth. Herodotus, Lucan, Pliny the Elder, Pope Clement I, Lactantius, Ovid, and Isidore of Seville are among those who have contributed to the retelling and transmission of the phoenix motif. The phoenix symbolized renewal in general, as well as entities and concepts such as the Sun, time, the Roman Empire, Christ, Mary, and virginity. • quantity 1• demonetized {no longer in circulation} polished Nickel-brass coin• diameter: 18 mm• weight: 2.5 g• comes with a 24" brass ball chain Greece Hellas coin pendant necklace jewelry Hellenic Greek phoenix bird eagle Athens Rhodes Santorini Thessaloniki Mykonos Sparta Corfu Delphi Irakleion Crete Larissa Patras Piraeus Heraklion Peristeri Patra Macedonia Peloponnese Pella Thessaly Thebes Kos Serres Trikala Chalcis Ioannina Acropolis Parthenon Mycenae Attica Volos Pallas Balkans fashion style
