About the Item

In this carnelian ( XVIII-XIX cent. ) intaglio gold pendant we can see three figures: Fortuna (left, with Cornucopia ) is the Roman Goddess of Luck, Fate, and Fortune, as her name implies. She was a very popular Goddess, and was worshipped under many epithets depending on the type of luck one wished to invoke or the circumstances in play. Her many temples in Rome, and the various aspects of her worship are a reflection of the manners in which she was honored: from personal Goddess, overseeing the fate of the individual mother, young man, or soldier, to a Goddess of the State, ensuring the fortune of the populace, the luck of the Emperor, or the glorious fate of the entire Roman Empire. Fortuna was usually depicted holding in one hand a cornucopia, or a horn of plenty, from which all good things flowed in abundance, representing her ability to bestow prosperity. Minerva ( in the center ) is the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. From the second century BC onward, the Romans equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. Minerva is one of the three Roman deities in the Capitoline Triad, along with Jupiter and Juno. She was the goddess of music, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, and the crafts. Though she is a female figure, Minerva is commonly depicted as tall with an athletic and muscular build, as well as wearing armour and carrying a spear Victoria, ( right, winged, with laurel wreath in the hand ) in ancient Roman religion, was the personified goddess of victory.She is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Nike, and was associated with Bellona. Just as the ancient Greeks and the Etruscans before them, the ancient Romans associated the laurel wreath with victory and success. They saw it as a badge of honor and was only given to a select few who had achieved something extraordinary.
