RARE ROMAN SPIRITUAL PENDANT C.100-200 AD
Addorsed cone form with ball terminal. Integral spiral support and suspension eye.

The fortress was built about 75 AD and occupied until about 300 AD. The pendant probably represents Vesta, Goddess of domestic peace and family life, and would have been worn by a married free woman.1 1/2” height in fine condition with the silver surface restored on a modern sterling silver neck chain for modern wear.
