拍品專文

On this convex circular stone is the Capitoline Triad, Juno, Jupiter and Minerva, each enthroned on clouds. Jupiter is at the center holding a scepter, with Minerva on one side, wearing a helmet and holding a scepter, and Juno on the other, with a scepter and a phiale. Emerging from either side is a wind god, each blowing a shell trumpet. Below them are Selene driving a biga followed by Sol driving a quadriga. Further below Oceanus reclines, his elbow on a toppled vase. For another gem depicting the Triad enthroned, see no. 516 in F. Canciani and A. Costantini, "Zeus/Iuppiter," in LIMC, vol. VIII. The addition of the Winds, the Sun, the Moon and the Ocean is unique.
