Wheel form just under 7/8” diameter. Stylistically modeled in high relief as a partial 16-spoke wheel with a central hub, three (of four) spokes and nine nubs forming over half the wheel. The concept of the Rota Fortunae, the Wheel of Fortune, dates back millennia with the Roman goddess Fortuna capriciously deciding the fate of men with a spin of her wheel, often sweeping them up to unprecedented new wealth and prosperity. It has proven to be an enduring symbol and concept even through the Christianization of Rome and into the Middle Ages as evidenced by the highly influential works of the late Roman philosopher and statesman Boethius. A fine ancient piece deeply imbued with historical meaning. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on an 18” sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with a certification of authenticity
