The Gladius coin series
A Series of coins representing
Honor, Fortitudo Et perseverantia
The Gladius is known in Latin as a 'sword'.
This is how the term gladiator (male) and gladiatrix (female) was named.
We are the modern day 'swordsman and woman'.
'Honor, fortitudo et perseverantia' are Latin words translated as honor, strength and loyalty.
These values are close to my heart, therefore the coins represent who we are,
could and should be.
Each coin in the Gladius series will represent a value: HONOR, STRENGTH and LOYALTY. You can connect with your coin and interpret the value, according to how you feel. Your carry, your connection.
The idea of honor was once the guiding principle of every aspiring gladiator. For the gladiator who possessed no material wealth, even his life was not his own and all he had was his self-respect. How he chose to live and to die in those final moments of his life, was the measure of his honor. His honor to himself, his comrads and to family were upheld.
Size: 44.5mm round & 5mm thick.
A 3D designed coin, a solid carry with the same form factor as the coin of strength.
Versions:
Antique Gold, Copper and Silver.
'Fortitudo' carries the deeper meaning of strength that the gladiators embodied. A gladiator's strength was not only his ability to fight adversity, but his courage to find inner strength to support his comrads who fought by his side.
The lion’s head is associated with the representation of strength. If the lion appears powerful to you, its presence can be interpreted as a positive representation of your self-confidence and personal power. As such, lions point to qualities of strength, courage and assertiveness.
Size: 44.5mm round & 5mm thick.
A 3D design that has been made to spin on a flat surface, giving it an amazing fidget factor.
Versions:
Antique Silver, Antique Copper, Antique Gold, Black Nickle and 'Lost in battle'
The final coin will represent the value of loyalty, a word which has lost its true meaning over time. As we live in this modern world, we have become distracted and often forget where our loyalites lay. Therefore, my coin tags the Latin words 'honor fortitudo et perseverantia.' This translates to honor, integrity, virtue, loyalty, courage, strength. determination, perseverance and honesty. We should begin our journey to uphold these values.
