Cameo Gem Inset Into a Hollow Ring, 1st century A.D. Additional Info: A chariot rushes past the walls of a city on this Roman intaglio gem set in a gold ring. With these few components of a narrative, a Roman viewer would have understood the scene as the episode from the 'Iliad', in which the Greek hero Achilles drags the corpse of his Trojan opponent Hector behind his chariot around the walls of the city of Troy.
