Geocoin Club March 2015 - Ides of March Geocoin
This is the regular edition coin of the March Geocoin Club Coin, designed by Chris Mackey! Here is his take on the design:
-In Rome, the Ides of March marks the celebration of the New Year and the worship of Anna Perenna, a goddess/wood nymph who represents the circle of the year starting again and for us... the new geocaching season as winter snows disperse and people get back outdoors. It's a celebration of spring growth, love, wine and the new calendar all wrapped up together.
-Anna Perenna is a kind of patron saint of the turn of the greek calendar. Their new year celebration is mid march / Ides of March and in legends she was going to be betrayed and made to look a fool so she ran to escape, but fell into a river and drowned. She came back as a benevolent water nymph who blesses the new seasons at the ides for a prosperous new year, easy births, etc., etc. They have a huge wine festival in her honor and it's a big to-do in Europe around the Mediteranean.
We laminated a picture of the coin and sent that out into the world to share with cachers - keeping the original here at home.
UPDATE 5-27-22 SENT OUT A COPY DOG TAG.
