Description

  • The collection of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Cagliari shows a carnelian discovered in 1894, in Sorgono by F. Vivanet. The acclamation to Zeus-Serapis and the bust engraved on the back of the gem allows us to recognise the precious object as a testimony to the piety and trust towards the roman emperor, who's identity is most probably Lucius Septimius Severus.

Vivanet nel 1894 in Sorgono. L’acclamazione a Zeus-Serapide e il busto intagliato sul recto della gemma permettono di interpretare l’oggetto prezioso quale testimonianza di religiosità e di fiducia rivolta nei confronti dell’imperatore da identificare, presumibilmente, con Lucio Settimio Severo.
