Description: For Sale: A miniature silver eagle pendant with folded wings and incised details. AR Roman Silver Eagle Statuette (AD 1st–2nd centuries).Weight: 1.44 g.Diameter: 15.24 mm.The eagle was adopted as the principal emblem of a whole legion under Marius in 104 BC (Pliny HN 10.5.16). These legionary emblems were in silver or gold and stood on a thunderbolt. The eagle was also used as a symbol of the Praetorian Guard or as the legionary signum of a unit. Many images of standards, including those with eagles, can be seen on Trajan’s Column (Toynbee 1973, Animals in Roman Art and Life, 241-242). There are many images of legionary eagles, often on tombstones. Military eagles also appear as figurines, probably like our silver specimen, including first-century AD examples.
