Could be Fortuna goddes with the rudder in his arm?
I did think that, The person i bought it from said it was a Female Gladiator, but i thought it looked more like fortuna, especially with what appears to be Grain on the bottom left? I hope it is, shes definatly my favorite godess
Need my good luck charm for playing the dice
Is the ring you have gold for it looks a bit bright and shiny.
nah it's silver. It's been polished up pretty nicely. But it's a bit duller in person.. So does anyone else have intaglio rings? Just curious to see whos got what.
If you want to build up a collection a good book to start with is
The Jewellery of Roman Britain/Celtic and Classical Traditions by Catherine Johns.University of Michigan Press.ISBN 0-472-10766-6
As for the one you have it looks similar to those unmounted gems found in the Snettisham Horde,it could be Fortuna.
