Im sorry if this is in the wrong place :imout: I didnt know where else to put this.

Im looking for reproductions of ancient Roman or Greek jewelry. Particularly I want to find a pendant that has the symbol of the Roman legions on it

Anyone have any ideas where I could find such things?

The UK has a chain of shops called Past Times that sell historical themed items, but I don't know of they ship internationally. They also do reproduction jewellery from all the major time periods in history, including Roman and Greek although I think it tends to be more women's jewellery.

I haven't really looked at it, I just know the shop itself. They have big display cases of jewellery separated into different time periods. I've bought medieval jewellery from them in the past.

What you can do if you can't find it anywhere else and you really want one is take the image down to the nearest Things Remembered (http://www.thingsremembered.com) store and have them digitize it for engraving. Then you can have them engrave it on something nice from their store (they have lots of stuff besides jewelry... in case you want it on a zippo lighter or something ^O^).

The problem is that this will be a bit pricy: it will cost you around $55 + the cost of item (unless you pick an item that costs more than 50 dollars, then they wave some of the setup fees for the engraving) and I'm not sure what their limitations on engravings are or how well they do complicated images. But everything I've gotten from their stores has been of the best quality, so it's something to consider.

Couldn't find what you want exactly, but there are a few decent pendants and things on this site.
