Description

A roman carnelian intaglio. Bonus eventus. The naked male character is holding two wheat ears; usually he hands out a patera (in this case covered by the original iron mounting, still present, which has expanded throught time. The intaglio has remained incorporated this way since several centuries). Among the numerous comparisons possible, we can mention the sample from the British Museum (n. 1950-1206.1). 2nd century A.D.
