AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Ancient Roman silver alloy seal ring with a broad, rounded hoop expanding to an oval bezel, set with a finely engraved red carnelian intaglio.
The gem depicts Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, shown as a powerful, partially draped male figure above stylised waves and holding his characteristic long trident.
-> Neptune ruled over the seas, freshwater and earthquakes and was especially important to sailors, merchants and others whose livelihoods depended upon safe travel by water. His image on a personal ring may have expressed devotion to the god or served as a symbol of divine protection.
Outside diameter: ± 26 mm
Inside diameter: ± 20,8 - 16,7 mm
Condition: good solid condition and wearable. The silver displays areas of surface wear and dark oxidation. The high quality intaglio retains an attractive translucent reddish-orange colour with small natural inclusions and signs of wear. The ring has been lightly cleaned.
Irregularities and signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Certificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request for all lots with a hammer price of €100 or higher.
-> Carnelian stone was treasured throughout the Greco-Roman antiquity. Like the Egyptians they believed carnelian had magical powers; it was believed it could ward off evil, help the blood circulation and make the skin look healthy and youthful.
Carnelian was often worn by Roman soldiers to boost their courage, vitality, confidence and physical powers. For women it was especially worn to improve fertility, cure frigidity and to help strengthen the body before and after childbirth.

Laboratory analysis (e.g. XRF) is not routinely undertaken in private collecting, and destructive testing is avoided as it causes permanent damage to archaeological material.
