AN ANCIENT ROMAN SILVER VOTIVE AQUILA / EAGLE, 2ND - 3RD CENTURY A.D

A silver votive Aquila, dating to the 2nd-3rd century A.D., represents a Roman eagle, a powerful symbol of the Roman Empire. The figure is skillfully crafted, with detailed wings and talons, standing on a small base. Such votive offerings were likely dedicated in temples or carried in religious or military ceremonies, embodying protection and divine authority.
