Roundel, medallion with head of Artemis

This diminutive bronze roundel depicts the head and shoulders of Artemis, identifiable by her characteristic hairstyle and posture. The surface shows significant wear due to its age, with the bronze having developed a dark, mottled patina over time. A modern accession number is visible stamped or painted onto the right edge of the medallion.

As an artifact from the first century, this object serves as a physical witness to the persistence of Classical pagan iconography, which would later be reinterpreted and synthesized by Renaissance Neoplatonists like Marsilio Ficino to represent the lunar sphere and the divine hunt of the soul.
