EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman intaglio gem, dating back to the 2nd century BC. Crafted from red jasper, this exquisite piece of art depicts the British deity Cocidus as Silvanus the Hunter. Discovered near Hadrian's Wall in Britain, it offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient religious beliefs and artistic craftsmanship. The intricate engraving on this jewel brings to life the powerful figure of Cocidus/Silvanus, portrayed as a male hunter standing tall and proud. The rich brown color of the gem adds depth and warmth to this divine representation. It is evident that great skill was employed in creating such an extraordinary artifact. As we admire this precious object, we are transported back in time to an era when religion played a significant role in people's lives. This intaglio gem serves as a testament to the sophistication and complexity of Roman civilization during its heyday. The concept of hunting is central here, symbolizing not only man's connection with nature but also his reliance on deities for success and protection while engaging in such activities. The fusion of British mythology with Roman religious iconography highlights cultural exchange and assimilation between these two civilizations. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, who have captured every detail flawlessly, we can now appreciate this invaluable piece without commercial intentions. Let us cherish this photograph as a window into our past heritage - an enduring reminder of human creativity throughout history.
