Jewelry and Jewels of the Punic and Roman Eras: Gold ring
Gold rings from the Punic and Roman eras demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship, ranging from Carthaginian granulation techniques to the sophisticated intaglio work of the Roman Empire
. In Tunisia, this theme was notably highlighted by the Tunisian Post via a series of stamps entitled “Jewellery and Jewels of the Punic and Roman Eras” issued in 2006.
Punic craftsmanship is distinguished by a strong Egyptian and Oriental influence, with perfect mastery of goldsmithing.
Punic rings often feature representations of protective deities or religious symbols such as the sign of Tanit.
