Description



Roman intaglio in nicolo. Seated Rome.

Roman nicolo intaglio. Rome, sitting down. The helmeted figure is depicted on a pile of weapons, (which is composed of a suit of armour, a sword and a shield) and is holding a small winged victory in her left hand. In the field: a palm frond, as an attribute for triumph. Such an iconography can be found, with some differences, on the back of many coins from the Roman Imperial Age (e.g. (as in a sestertius of Emperor Nero with Rome seated on arms, flanked by SC and ROMA legend; antoninianus of Emperor Gordian with Rome seated on arms on the reverse, surrounded by ROMAE AETERNAE legend). mm 12 x 11 x 3
1st – 2nd century A.D.
