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.
Fasta Ambrosius Longus
John
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
