Roman gold disc-shaped pendant, hammered from thin gold, decorated with a cross composed of intersecting dots. A gold loop to the top for suspension.Roman, ca. 100 - 200 ADdimensions: 15 x 12 mmweight: 0,6 gr.As in many ancient societies, jewellery was an important social marker used to demonstrate wealth and richness. In Ancient Greek and Roman culture jewellery was worn in everyday life but was also buried with the deceased as part of his or her funerary outfit. Jewellery might have been enriched by precious and semi-precious stones and decorative motives would have included popular myths, gods, goddesses, and heroes. The practice of wearing gold roundels as pieces of jewellery dates back to the Old Babylonian Period. Similar gold discs have been also recovered at the beginning of the 1st millennium BC from north-west Iran, precisely from the archaeological site of Hasanlu, and from Cyprus.
