Dux Femina Facti

This Latin phrase comes from Virgil’s epic poem, the Aeneid. It refers to Dido, the legendary founder and first queen of the Phoenician city-state of Carthage. Over the centuries, “DUX FEMINA FACTI” came to be a motto associated with female leadership. There are a variety of ways it has been translated: – “A woman was the leader of the deed” – “A woman was the author of the exploit” – “A woman led the enterprise” – or simply, “A woman led”. All of them carry the same basic message: a woman got it done. The pendant is made from gold or silver colored steel, and has the phrase engraved on one side.
