Agate Roman Intaglio 1st-2nd cent.AD 18kt Gold Ring depicting Nike with Snake
About the Item
This 18 Kt gold ring, meticulously crafted by our skilled goldsmiths, showcases an authentic Roman two layer agate intaglio dating back to the 1st-2nd century AD.
The intaglio depicts the goddess Nike, personifying victory, in a powerful and sacred setting. She is shown alongside a Cista Mystica, a sacred basket used in ancient mystery cults, where symbolic or ritual objects, such as a snake, were often placed. The snake, a symbol of triumph over evil, death, and dark forces, represents rebirth and protection. Nike, in this portrayal, is intertwined with these powerful symbols of victory, transformation, and divine strength.
Nike was a prominent figure in both Greek and Roman mythology, revered as the embodiment of victory in all aspects of life—be it in war, athletic competitions, or personal triumphs. In Greek mythology, Nike was often depicted with wings, emphasizing her swiftness and agility in delivering victory. Her Roman counterpart is Victoria, who similarly symbolizes success and the divine favor of the gods in achieving greatness. Nike's role was not just to bestow victory, but also to inspire strength and resilience in those who sought her favor.
The presence of Nike alongside the Cista Mystica highlights her association with divine protection and sovereignty, offering a sense of spiritual completeness to those who invoked her aid. The symbolism of the snake and the Cista suggests that Nike's power not only brought victory but also ensured a process of purification and renewal for her followers.
