Ca. 100 AD, Roman. Silver lunar amulet comprising a crescent moon made of three strands of silver, two with incesed decorations, applied silver baubles and strands as well as a wide banded suspension loop. In Roman mythology, Luna (the Moon) is sometimes viewed as a goddess in her own right, and sometimes appears as an epithet of more senior goddesses like Diana or Juno, meaning this item may be a sign of devotion to senior gods within the Roman pantheon.
