| Description |  |
This work was part of a hoard found at the base of the Capitoline Hill, the center commercial activity in Rome even after the transfer of the imperial capital to Constantinople. The jewelry was probably hidden during the sack of the city by the Visigoths, in 410, or the Vandals, in 455.
