These small globular pendants were popular among common women in ancient Rome. Some have been described as prostitute's pendants and that view is widely published on the internet. This example is 10.5mm, 0.41” diameter of bell form with a flat bottom showing remnants of incising. It has been professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored. It is suspended on an 18” gilt neck chain for modern wear and is gift-boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
