   A nearly 2,000-year-old #Roman gold ring was discovered in the tomb of Aebutia Quarta, located near Rome.

   This exquisite artifact features a rock crystal intricately carved to depict her son, Titus Carvilius Gemello. The engraving on the back of the crystal skillfully manipulates light, creating a holographic effect that makes the image appear remarkably lifelike.

   Now housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Palestrina
