About the Item

Period: 18th Century Weight: 11gr. Top size 15mm Size: 7 L’intaglio in corniola di epoca Neoclassica raffigura il profilo dell’imperatore romano Galba, con una capigliatura in stile imperiale e la classica corona d’alloro. Servius Sulpicius Galba Caesar Augustus, comunemente chiamato Galba, fu il primo imperatore a governare nel famoso “anno dei quattro Imperatori”, detenendo il potere per sette mesi, prima di essere assassinato nel gennaio del 69, quando venne nominato imperatore Otone. L’intaglio si distingue per l’elevata qualità tecnica, evidenziata dalle diverse profondità dell’incisione del profilo. Tale maestria consente una rappresentazione accurata della fisionomia di Galba, raffigurato con lineamenti duri e uno sguardo austero, oltre a generare un raffinato effetto chiaroscurale. The carnelian intaglio from the Neoclassical period depicts the profile of the Roman emperor Galba, with an imperial hairstyle and the classic laurel wreath. Servius Sulpicius Galba Caesar Augustus, commonly called Galba, was the first emperor to rule in the famous "year of the four emperors", holding power for seven months, before being assassinated in January 69, when Otone became emperor. The intaglio is distinguished by its high technical quality, evidenced by the different depths of the profile engraving. This craftsmanship allows an accurate representation of the physiognomy of Galba, depicted with tough features and an austere look, as well as generating a refined chiaroscuro effect.

Roman Intaglio Carnelian Ring
Located in New Orleans, LA
Exceptionally rare and fashioned in the 2nd or 3rd century CE, the carved carnelian gemstone at the center of this ring hails from the Roman Empire.

Each taking a classical contrapposto stance, the leftmost god appears crowned with laurels and grasping a staff, while the other appears nude. At their feet, an infant stretches his arms upward toward the divine figures. The crimson carnelian, more than a millennia-old, is set into a later 14K gold ring setting...
