phistorians, 6 months ago Sardonyx cameo of Claudius as Jupiter ~ C1st CE Claudius makes no bones about being the top dog in Rome with this cameo. He holds Jupiter’s sceptre and thunderbolt and is joined by Jupiter’s eagle. The frame is a later addition from the C16th. 🏛 Art Institute, Chicago #AncientRome #History @histodons @antiquidons
