Lot 197
3rd century AD. A substantial D-section silver hoop and expanding shoulders, flat plaque with notched edges and inset carnelian(?) plaque with intaglio motif of Minerva with helmet, spear and shield holding a winged Victoria. 25 grams, 34mm overall, 21.87mm internal diameter (approximate size British Y 1/2, USA 12 1/4, Europe 28.2, Japan 27) (1 1/4"). Property of a gentleman; acquired in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Roman goddess Minerva was a patron of arts, crafts, wisdom and commerce. From the 2nd century BC onwards, she was equated with the Greek counterpart, goddess Athena, and adapted large part of her mythology. Some scholars believe that her cult was introduced at Rome from Etruria. Later, affected by Athena, her worship as a goddess of war encroached upon that of Mars (Greek Ares"). The erection of a temple to her by Pompey out of the spoils of his Eastern conquests shows that by then she had been identified with the Greek Athena Nike, bestower of victory. Like Athena Nike, one often finds her image holding Victory (equivalent of the Greek Nike); the personified goddess of victory. Unlike the Greek Nike, however, Victoria was a major Roman deity, worshipped by triumphant generals returning from war as a symbol of victory over death and determined who would be successful during war. Very fine condition. A large wearable size.
