Engraved with winged Nemesis, her hair bound up, daintily holding out the front her her dress delicately between her fingers, an inscription about the edge CARCICINVS, possibly the owner's name. For a similar bust dated to the 1st Century B.C. cf. M. Maaskant-Kleibrink, Catalogue of the Engraved Gems in the Royal Coin Cabinet The Hague, The Hague, 1978, p. 137, pl. 42, no. 201. Standing figures of Nemesis holding out her drapery like the above, can be seen on Roman coinage under Claudius and Hadrian.
