A roman carnelian intaglio. Warrior.

1st - 2nd century A.D.

The soldier advances to the right, with the frontal torso and the head turned back in profile. The figure is naked and protected by a shield and helmet. With his right hand he holds the spear; the sword is hung with a belt. Groundline. Typical pose inspired by Greek models. Fine quality for the small size of the stone. Slight wear marks.
