    The Images need a little help to be identified. THANKS

    The words and the chart have been translated and decoded. I need help with some of the symbols and emblems on the front side. And help is in very much demand. Thanks.

    The EXO7 believe means the outer seven?(To get the answer to the words on the seven ears on the medallion)
    I need to get affermation on all these meanings for the symbols on the front side starting with the Dollar sign and work around to the right.

    4) Above Potiut.......???????maybe Hexagram The Talisman of Saturn????

      The photos are out of focus. Can you please post clear photos or tell me what the Latin words are around the medallion?
      The six pointed star is normally a reference to the Star of David.
      Rerum is the plural of res, which means wealth, goods.
      Qui means "who".

      It could be word square (magic square) charm, similar to ``SATOR`` formula, but just guessing. Images (as said) are out of focus.

      Try to show us better images, very interesting item.
    3. unibob unibob, 8 years ago
      I have some better pictures
    4. unibob unibob, 8 years ago
      I figured it out. front says"HAPPY IS HE WHO CAN ASCERTAIN THE CAUSES OF THINGS"
      Baxk says"MANY WERE CALLED BUT FEW WERE EVER CHOSEN" yes yes
    5. IVAN49 IVAN49, 8 years ago
      Your magic square is associated with astrological sign Venus =175
      22 47 16 41 10 35 4
      etc
      Take a look here:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square
      ``In about 1510 Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa wrote De Occulta Philosophia, drawing on the Hermetic and magical works of Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola. In its 1531 edition, he expounded on the magical virtues of the seven magical squares of orders 3 to 9, each associated with one of the astrological planets``

      I now believe image 5 is the"WHEEL OF FORTUNE" or ROA FORTUNATE. The Goddess Fortuna would spin the wheel randomly and grant fortune or misfortune

      4) might be the talisman of Venus...Not sure

      Hi, I have something very similar to this. Do you mind sharing what this is? Was it worn to represent something? Thanks!
    10. unibob unibob, 8 years ago
      Hello Morgan this medallian has ginen me great pleasure as I looked and tried to find the meanings associated with it. It was found in an estate of a deceased person in Louisville , Ky. It is I believe a good luck piece that I still can not date or find the origin to. The words are old and one side are,"EXO7,FELIX,QUI,POTUIT,RERUM,COGNOSCERE,CAUSAS. "" “Felix, qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas” is verse 490 of Book 2 of the "Georgics" (29 BC), by the Latin poet Virgil (70 - 19 BC). It is literally translated as: “Fortunate who was able to know the causes of things”. Dryden rendered it: "Happy the Man, who, studying Nature's Laws, / Thro' known Effects can trace the secret Cause" (The works of Virgil, 1697).[1] Virgil may have had in mind the Roman philosopher Lucretius, of the Epicurean school.The EXO7 I believe is relating to the outer 7 ears on the talisman or the 7 known planets? The other side ,EXO7,MULTI,SUNT,VOCATI,PAUCI,VERO,ELECTI.multi sunt vocati pauci vero electi
      Many are called but few are chosen

      Thank you so much! I really appreciate your time and information. I did find one website that has a picture of a gold version but I am unable to read it as it's written in another language. Yours looks almost identical to mine except mine is attached to a chain via a circle located on top of the Exo7. I am fascinated and in love with it!
    12. unibob unibob, 8 years ago
      I would love to see pictures of it if you can send them. I will see if the symbols are matches and send you my research on it.I love looking into this and willnever part with it.Thanks and try to send some pictures.
    13. unibob unibob, 8 years ago
      P.S. The medallian is to be silver or pewter not gold.
    14. Morganpop3, 8 years ago
      Should I add the pictures in a comment or is there another way to send them?
    15. Mysterylover1, 7 years ago
      What is this I have a gold one the same but I don't understand what it is
    16. unibob unibob, 7 years ago
      I would love to see a pic of both sides of this as I have never seen a gold talisman like this. bob2657@yahoo.com
    17. freekstyle22, 7 years ago
      I have a gold one as well however 2 of the words on mine are different and one of the words is nearly impossible to make out. And the backside doesn't have anything on it. I would post a picture but it doesn't look like I have that option..
