Description: | Roman intaglio (carved semi-precious stone) made of carnelian. Intaglios were set in finger-rings and used as both seals and lucky charms. As a soldier needed to win battles and have good luck to survive in his chosen career, the goddesses of Victory and of Fortune are commonly found on intaglios owned by soldiers. Here a soldier has chosen to have both goddesses shown side by side (second or third century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion archaeology living in the North East fashion roman military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
