Re: Intaglio Rings... - Lucius Duccius Rufinus - 11-10-2008 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 Re: Intaglio Rings... - PhilusEstilius - 11-10-2008 Is the ring you have gold for it looks a bit bright and shiny. Re: Intaglio Rings... - Lucius Duccius Rufinus - 11-10-2008 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. Re: Intaglio Rings... - fasta - 11-11-2008 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.
