Description: Virgin Mary Coin: Bronze Coin from the Reign of Emperor Arcadius (Clear Box) This certified boxed coin highlights a pivotal moment in the history of Christianity: when the Virgin Mary is acknowledged not just as the mother of Jesus, but as the Mother of God Christianity did not wipe out pagan beliefs as much as it assimilated them into the new religion. Worship of various local gods and goddesses continued in modified form as veneration of the saints. And no saint was venerated more than Mary, the Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ. She represented the Female in an otherwise male-dominated trinity. Her cult was relatively small until the reign of the Emperor Arcadius (A.D. 395-408). His eldest daughter Pulcheria dedicated herself to Mary at a young age, inspiring her father to build a number of churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Their enthusiastic involvement with Marian veneration transformed what was a fledgling cult into arguably the most popular in Christendom. Pulcheria spearheaded the movement to proclaim Mary as the Mother of God (as opposed to just the mother of the human Jesus), which was formally achieved at the Council of Ephesos. Arcadius, for his part, conceded to his daughter's every request, and was thus the earliest and most influential Marian benefactors. Without Arcadius, Mary may never have become the Madonna, and would not have the prominence she now enjoys. 1/60 Gram Pure .999 Fine 24k Gold 3mm x 6mm Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, every several gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
