This stunning antique button necklace is made with a late 19th century Victorian Zodiac button modeled on an Egyptian coin minted in Alexandrian Egypt to celebrate the 1461 year long Sothic cycle of the star Sirius in 139 CE during the reign of Roman emperor Antoninus Pius. The Sothic cycle was 1461 years in Egyptian civil year of 365 days and 1460 years in the Roman Julian calendar of 365¼ days per year. Each coin represents the constellations and the planet with which they were in conjunction during the start of the next Sothic cycle, day house and night house.
