Description



Roman intaglio in carnelian. Apotheosis of Jupiter.

Roman carnelian intaglio. Apotheosis of Jupiter. The engraving is divided in two registers: two winged victories flank the bust of Zeus Serapis (modium on his head) with a wreath. At the bottom, an eagle spreads her wings as a sign of triumph. Interesting depiction, typical of the Imperial Age, well balanced. Light chipping in the field. Jeffrey Spier, Ancient gems and finger rings, Catalogue of the Collections. The J. Paul Getty Museum, p. 127, n 338. mm 15 x 11 x 4
