Greco-Roman Intaglios. In the course of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were gradually absorbed into the spreading area of Roman domination.

Their wide range of styles and subjects demonstrates the eclecticism of the ages: while some seem deliberately archaising or classic, others appear to allude to contemporary events.
