 Description

Ancient Roman charioteer silver ring. A silver seal ring featuring an oval repoussé work gold plaque with a charioteer in a biga, surrounded by a raised border, leading to broad substantial integrated shoulders and tapering through to a solid D-shape shank. Tested silver and gold, approximately 17g in weight, circa 3rd century AD.

 Comments

A biga is a two horse chariot, used for the sport of racing and transportation. In ancient Roman art and jewellery, the charioteer emerged as a potent symbol of victory, prestige and strength, reflecting the immense cultural significance of the chariot races in Roman society. Here on this ring, the daring athlete is depicted in dynamic motion as he drives his galloping horses towards triumph.

 Condition report

This ring is in fine condition, commensurate with its age, and the imagery on the gold seal remains well-defined.
