Historical Context
Scenes of hunters and animals were common in Roman art, expressing strength, fertility, and divine guardianship. The figure may represent Silvanus, protector of forests and wildlife, or a mortal hunter invoking his blessing. Such imagery resonated deeply among provincial Romans, symbolizing self-sufficiency and harmony with the natural world. Rings of this type combined practical sealing use with personal or devotional meaning, often worn by soldiers, farmers, or local officials across the western provinces.
