5th-Century Amulet Depicting King Solomon Spearing the Devil Discovered in Turkey

Archaeologists in Turkey say they have discovered an ancient amulet depicting a Biblical figure in a battle against the devil.

The rare artifact was found during an ongoing excavation project in Hadrianopolis, an ancient city near Karabük, and dated to the fifth century.

Hadrianopolis was used as a settlement during various periods of history, including during the Roman and Byzantine empires.

Excavation and restoration work has been taking place there since 2003, with over a dozen buildings discovered and multiple massive mosaics found over the years.

The pendant, made of bronze, shows King Solomon, according to a news release issued by Turkey's Karabük University. The ancient ruler is seen riding a horse and holding a spear while defeating the devil, according to Dr. Ersin Çelikbaş, an associate professor at the university. Solomon appears in multiple religions, including Judaism, Catholicism and Islam.

"The depiction of Prophet Solomon on this necklace surprised us and revealed the importance of the artifact for Anatolian archaeology," said Çelikbaş. Anatolia is a region of Turkey.

The phrase "Our Lord defeated evil" is written on one side of the amulet, and the names of four biblical angels — Azrail, Gabriel, Michael and Israfil — are written on the other side. The pendant would have been used as a charm to protect against evil or danger, Çelikbaş said.

Çelikbaş added that the amulet is related to the military nature of the city, noting that previous excavations had "determined the existence of a cavalry unit" in Hadrianopolis. This is the first pendant of its kind to be found in Turkey, Çelikbaş said, though a similar piece was once found in Jerusalem.

"The presence of similar works in these two distant geographies indicates that Hadrianopolis was an important religious center in ancient times," Çelikbaş said.

The Hogwarts Houses as Precious Metals and Gems

The four Hogwarts houses are all represented by two colors. What if those colors represent jewels? One color is a precious metal, and the second color is a gemstone.

Gryffindor- Gold and Ruby

This was one of the easiest to find. There are plenty of Ruby and gold combinations, but this particular pendant is flashy, suitable for Gryffindors who appreciate boldness.

Hufflepuff- Tungsten and Fire Opal

I don't know if I even want to admit how long it took me to figure this one out. The easiest metal choice would have been black gold, but I wanted each house to have their own metal or alloy. As for stones, I looked at citrine, amber, and diamond but couldn't find them with the right metal type. I finally found this beauty. It's very unique, but also simple, which fits Hufflepuff. (By the way, this ring is thicker at the bottom because of the reflection.)

Ravenclaw- Bronze and Sapphire

Happy coincidence the band is navy blue as well. But this watch is a bronze bezel encrusted with sapphires. Something about a watch just seems academic to me, so definitely appropriate for Ravenclaw.

Slytherin- Platinum and Emerald

Originally, the obvious choice here was silver. But I don't think Slytherin would be content with a metal that's less valuable than that of Gryffindor. So, platinum. Emerald is the most obvious gemstone. And, I found an intricate, antique style ring to fit the classic and deep traditions style of the house.

I enjoyed doing this, even though I probably spent waaay too much time on it. Also, the internet thinks I'm either getting engaged or looking to buy jewelry now because I'm being bombarded with jewelry advertisements. Oh well, worth it.

What do you think about my choices and this theory (ish thing)?
