Description

Ca. 100-300 AD. A gold ring with a circular band, flared shoulders, and an oval bezel set with a carnelian gem; the delicate intaglio depicts a scorpion. Excellent condition, wearable. The scorpion was the emblem of the Praetorian Guard, the Roman emperor's personal army elite unit. The praetorian scorpion has long been recognised as a reference to Tiberius, who was born under the astrological sign of the Scorpio, and who first concentrated praetorian guard in its own camp in Rome, thus giving it full corporate identity (Russell and Hellström 2020, 135). Hence, it is not inconceivable that this ring might have belonged to a praetorian guard. Cf. Russell, A., Hellström, M. (2020). The social dynamics of Roman imperial imagery. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.Size: D: 19.51mm / US: 9 5/8 / UK: T; 4.7g. Provenance: Property of a central London Ancient Art Gallery; previously obtained from a British private collection formed in the 1980s.
