Design

The 2 oz Antique Silver The Divine Weapons Thunderbolt Bar takes inspiration from historical representations of Zeus thunderbolt, known as the keraunos. This divine weapon symbolized raw power, capable of reducing mountains to rubble and eliminating those who opposed the rule of Olympus. Zeus was frequently depicted holding a bundle of lightning with pointed edges resembling eagle wingsan appropriate feature, as the eagle was his sacred animal.

History

Beyond its destructive force, the thunderbolt served as Zeus means of upholding justice, striking down those who defied the gods or violated sacred oaths. Ancient Greek sailors and travelers often sought Zeus protection, praying that his thunderbolts would not turn against them in treacherous storms.
