he two winged figures wear a long tunic and face one another wit their heads in profile. Both raise the right arm to support palm fronds, which create arches over their heads (ornamental motif); at the bottom, vertically positioned a palm frond. Ground line. An auspicious allegorical representation referring to triumph and success, composed with a perfectly symmetrical structure (similar to emblems). Engraving carried out with marked lines of thick weave, sometimes crossed, typical of late Roman production. Attractive stone color and slight internal cracking in the upper part due to heat. Slight signs of wear.
4th century AD.
