An amazing miniature portrait of the #Roman empress Agrippina Minor (15-59 AD), made from chalcedony. Agrippina was the mother of Nero, and married to her uncle, emperor Claudius. It was rumoured that she poisoned her husband with a dish of mushrooms.

Nero being crowned by his mother Agrippina the Younger is a stand out image from the Sebasteion.
Agrippina carries the cornucopia signalling her alignment with the goddess Fortuna. Nero is dressed in a rather more mortal form in the accoutrements of a Roman military commander.

I'm delighted by the fact files my Latin students produced on Agrippina. A really fantastic effort from these 3 in particular.

For #ReliefWednesday the so called Gemma Claudia, made of five-layered onyx. Emperor Claudius and his forth wife Agrippina minor are depicted on the left, opposite her parents Germanicus - brother of Claudius - and Agrippina maior.
The cameo was presumably made on...🧵1/2
