A nearly 2,000-year-old Roman gold ring was discovered in the tomb of Aebutia Quarta, located near Rome. This exquisite artifact features a rock crystal intricately carved to depict her son, Titus Carvilius Gemello. The engraving on the back of the crystal skillfully manipulates light, creating a holographic effect that makes the image appear remarkably lifelike. Now housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Palestrina, this piece showcases the advanced artistic techniques and craftsmanship of the ancient Romans.
