EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ring adorned with a portrait of the Emperor Postumus, crafted from exquisite red jasper. Dating back to the 3rd century AD, this Roman masterpiece measures a mere 1.6 cm in length and is now held within a private collection. The ring captures the essence of power and authority, as it features an intricately carved relief of the bearded Emperor Postumus himself. His regal presence is enhanced by the laurel crown resting upon his head, symbolizing victory and triumph. The draped bust adds an air of elegance to this striking piece of jewelry. Radiating strength and wisdom, this depiction immortalizes Marcus Cassianius Latinius Postumus, who reigned as a Roman emperor with Batavian origins until his death in 269 AD. The attention to detail in capturing his likeness on such a small scale is truly extraordinary. This photograph not only highlights the craftsmanship involved but also serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Rome. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this miniature work of art. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every intricate detail, ensuring that viewers can marvel at this stunning relic from centuries past. This image stands as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us into an era where emperors ruled with grace and grandeur.
