This ring represents the helmet of Leonidas. Leonidas was a warrior king of the Greek city-state of Sparta. Arguably, one of the greatest heroes in the history of ancient Greece.
In 480 B.C Leonidas led an army of 6,000 to 7,000 Greeks from many city-states, including 300 Spartans, who fought the invading Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae. Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes could pass. The Persians succeeded in defeating the Greeks but sustained heavy losses. A local resident named Ephialtes led the Persian general by a mountain track to the rear of the Greeks. King Leonidas sent away all the Greek troops and stayed behind with 300 Spartans, 400 Thebans, and 700 Thespian volunteers who refused to leave. They were all killed in the battlefield, protecting their homeland.

Ιστορία
Ο Ήλιος της Βεργίνας είναι ένα αρχαίο ελληνικό σύμβολο που απεικονίζεται σε διάφορα αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα, όπως αγγεία και νομίσματα, αλλά έγινε ευρέως γνωστό λόγω της απεικόνισης του στη χρυσή λάρνακα που βρέθηκε το 1977 σε Βασιλικό τάφο ο οποίος αποδίδεται στη Μακεδονική Βασιλική Δυναστεία του Φιλίππου Β΄ και του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου.
