Gold And Ovoid Agate Roman Cameo Dog Ring 2nd-3rd century AD

About the Item

Roman, Imperial period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A wonderful gold ring mounted with an ovoid agate cameo of a dog. The cute canine sits with his body facing left. Man’s — and woman’s — best friend today was also the best friend of the Romans, even mentioned in Roman legal code as guardians of the home and domesticated animals. The tapered snout of this pooch recalls one of the most famous dogs in antiquity – the Roman mosaic from Pompeii of a dog on a chain that warns, “CAVE CANEM” – Beware of Dog! in gold collet settings. The top size is 1.8 x 1.5cm Size 7 Weight: 7.16gr.
