Chairman's Notes

The lion, a prevalent motif in Roman glyptic art, signified strength, courage, and dominion, qualities highly esteemed in both military and imperial contexts. Such rings were commonly worn by soldiers, officials, or elite individuals seeking to project power and divine favor, as lions were often associated with Jupiter and Hercules, figures of supreme authority and heroic virtue.
