About the Item
Ancient Roman Kneeling Athlete intaglio. Set to centre with an oval garnet intaglio in a closed back setting, engraved with a kneeling athlete holding a discus, leading to trumpeting shoulders and flowing through to a solid shank. Tested yellow gold, an approximate weight of 7.35g, circa 1st to 2nd century AD.
The Romans admired athletes as subject matter because they embodied key values of Roman society, such as strength, endurance, discipline, and competition. Athletic figures, especially gladiators, wrestlers, and charioteers, were celebrated for their physical prowess and ability to achieve victory, often against great odds.
