Item Details
Description
Ca. 3rd century AD. A gold finger ring with a circular hoop and large oval-shaped bezel, set with a red jasper intaglio depicting a left-facing portrait of Emperor Caracalla. Caracalla, born Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus on April 4, AD 188, ascended to the imperial throne in AD 198 alongside his father Septimius Severus. Notorious for his ruthlessness, Caracalla is perhaps best remembered for the edict of AD 212, known as the Constitutio Antoniniana, which granted Roman citizenship to all free inhabitants of the empire. His reign was marked by a mix of military achievements and internal strife, ultimately ending in his assassination on April 8, AD 217, during a campaign against the Parthians. Size: D: 17.12mm / US: 6 3/4 / UK: N; 9.5g Provenance: Property of a London Ancient Art Gallery; formerly in the famous Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; acquired between early 1960s to 1990s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
