Earrings on Stone Monuments from Pannonia
Annama¤ria R. Facsa¤dy
One of the most popular and most frequently worn types of jewellery in the Roman imperial
period was the inaures framing the face. These items of varied design and made particularly
for decorative purpose are worthy representatives of a specific branch of Roman jewellery
making that originates in the Hellenistic period.
Several Roman authors attest the wearing of this type of jewellery. However, their opinion is not too favourable. Ovidius1, Iuvenalis2 and even Seneca3 disapprove their wearing
and their oversize, yet the reason for their criticism is not the lack of aesthetic value. Any
kind of jewellery meant the decline of the old ^ and according to their opinion proper ^ virtues, the end of simple lifestyle, and the wanton ostentation of riches. The more and more widespread custom of wearing jewellery ^ such as earrings that had neither distinctive feature
nor symbolic meaning ^ symbolised the Greek-Hellenistic or Oriental value system that op4
posed the Roman values.
Although in the first and second centuries AD they cannot be found on ‘‘official’’ representations ^ on coins, busts, and reliefs ^ they are present among material findings and on
‘‘private’’ ornaments. They can be seen in the ears of the ladies of Pompeii. In addition, the
Egyptian mummy portraits testify that as early as the first centuries of the imperial period
even the more ‘‘puritanic’’ women, who had less jewellery, were wearing at least earrings. 5
As this fashion became generally accepted, the rate of its pictorial representation
and its diversity significantly increased. This process is also ref lected by finds, particularly
by stone monuments, from Pannonia.
The typology of earrings
The earring ^ worn right next to the face ^ is the most characteristic type of jewellery, and
at the same time it is particularly suitable for many variation possibilities. The question of typology makes dating difficult. In lack of the same principles applied in classification there
are fundamental differences in the typological approach of scholars. The use of improperly
selected and perhaps too distant analogies may therefore result in wrong periodization.
For the typology of the jewellery two fundamental points of view have to be taken into
consideration. 6
One concerns the design and the other concerns the whole of the jewellery, which is
only partly inf luenced by the former. As far as the design is regarded, the greatest difference
can be observed in the structure of the hoop, which may be closed or open. As far as the
whole of the jewellery is concerned, plain and composite variants can be differentiated consisting of one or more parts respectively. The open, S-shaped hoop made a greater variability and more types of decoration possible during the manufacturing of the jewellery, and
the deviations brought about new types of jewellery. Certain designs were fashionable at
the same time and for a long period. There are only a small number of types that were worn

for a short, datable period or at a territory of limited size. In addition to the form, in many cases it is the pattern and the technique that makes dating more exact. It is particularly true for
items with openwork motifs. The same forms used in different provinces of the Roman Empire may come from archaeological contexts of different periods. However, this must not always be explained by a use of the form throughout many generations.
In Aquincum earrings (fig. 1) were ^ ahead of all types of jewellery ^ primarily made
of gold, and there are only a few bronze examples (In addition to 46 gold pieces, there are
only four pieces made of silver and nine pieces made of bronze). The investigation of other
Pannonian cemeteries demonstrated that the ratio found there was different from the ratio
found in Aquincum. Out of the 108 pieces preserved in late Roman cemeteries there were
only 17 pieces made of gold. 7
The simplest and most widespread form was the closed hoop. Its varieties derive
from the pattern of the wire, the structure of the fastener, and the thickness of the basic material. Because the hoop also formed the basis of other types, it is difficult to decide whether
they were, in fact, worn in themselves as early as the early imperial period. 8 The design of
one of its very frequent subtypes, equally made of gold and bronze, is the same as that of
bracelets9 and fingerings10 with a ‘‘spring mechanism’’. The origins of this easily shaped
form goes back to the Hellenistic period. In Britain it already appears in the Bronze Age, and
it occurs after the Roman period, as well. 11 Its analogies are known from second-century
Thrace,12 Viminacium,13 and the oriental territories. 14 In the late Roman cemeteries of Pannonia this is one of the most common type of earring. 15
The closed hoop could be decorated in two ways. In the first case the hoop itself was
decorated, most frequently with a spiral motif. 16 (It must be noted here that the spiral motif is
also known on earrings from Britain. 17 However, they had an s-shaped hook, and thus they
cannot be regarded as analogies of our type.) The other possible way for the variation of
earrings created from a closed hoop concerns the whole of the jewellery: there is a separate
pendant suspended from the hoop (fig. 2). Variations come from differences in the form of
the pendants. (On identifying the analogies one cannot disregard the fact that some scholars took no notice of the variants of the pendants when creating their typologies.) This type
was in use for a long time. The small closed hoop made of plain or twisted wire and a small,
suspended bead was worn from the early Imperial period onwards. It can already be found
among the jewellery types of Pompeii,18 but it became widespread from the second century
on. There are some datable items known even from the late imperial period. 19 In spite of the
fact that it can be easily manufactured, the final result is very decorative, depending on the
length of the wire and the material, colour, and size of the suspended bead.
Jewellery consisting of a closed hoop and a 16^29 mm long, conical or pyramidal hollow pendant decorated with granulation or with beaded wire frame, and filled with paste20 is
known from the third century on. 21 However, it also occurs in fourth-century female and

Earrings on Stone Monuments from Pannonia
child burials. 22 (The size and the shape of the pendant leads us to the question of the so-called Hercules’ club pendants of uncertain origin. 23)
Jewellery with an ‘‘S’’-shaped hoop shows a much greater variability. In the case of
the simplest items the decoration is merely a hollow knob or truncated pyramid soldered
right on the end of the hoop. 24 Earrings with a band mount must have been slightly more labour-intensive types. The framework of the prismatic or cylindrical bead was made up of
two gold bands soldered together in the shape of a cross, which was bent on the bead from
two or four directions. As an additional decorative element a gold drop was soldered to the
ends of the bands25 (fig. 3). The look of the jewellery was primarily determined by the colour
and size of the prismatic or cylindrical bead inlay, and secondarily by the width of the bands.
The S-shaped hoop was soldered to the rear of the framework. This easily producible type
of earring came into general use in Pannonia in the third century. The second- or third-century piece of the British Museum must be regarded as the prototype of the form, 26 which began to f lourish in the third century. 27 The piece known from Silchester, Britain, was made
with emerald. 28 In Aquincum the pair of earrings the parts of which are of dissimilar design,
representing both subtypes, was buried together with a coin of Constantius II. 29
A very eye-catching type of earring was made from an S-shaped hoop, an open framework, and a round shield. Concerning the technique, these earrings must be regarded as
further developments of earrings with band mounts. For the looks of the jewellery the bead
inlay is of secondary importance. The thin wire holding the bead is partly covered by a
round shield decorated in various ways. As the framework is not closed, the suspension of
the bead, normally a prismatic emerald bead, in the middle is not only very well visible, but it
is also dominant due to the rewinding of the thin wire. The gold shield may be decorated
with incision, openwork, granulation, and even with further beads. These pieces of jewellery
are therefore of very diverse looks (fig. 4). An item identical with the one from Aquincum is
also known from Intercisa. 30 The surface was divided by incision between the semi-circular
embossed parts, which resulted in a shape resembling a f lower. 31 Its development goes
back to the simplification of the palmette motif. This highly decorative and easily producible
pattern was applied on the frames of coins32 and gemmae,33 yet it also appeared on other
types of jewellery from various parts of the Empire. 34 The motif is the same in each case, and
there are great territorial differences only in the design. Although one of its distant varieties
was still used in the fourth century,35 it was widespread from the end of the second century
to the time of Gallienus. The colourful effect was intensified by the suspended real pearls.
The third-century Pannonian fashion of round earrings with an S-shaped hoop is testified
by hoards (from Balozsameggyes36 and Szalacska37), hidden in about 260 AD, and by a
38
grave find dated by a coin of Caracalla.

The design is fundamentally different in the case of earrings with closed framework.
Contrary to the former types the mount completely surrounds the bead or gem used as an ornament. The ‘‘box’’ may have further ornaments, which increases the range of variations.
The hoop is soldered to the back of the box. The box mount hides the suspension of the
bead39 (fig. 5). In the case of one variant the box-shaped head is filled with frit. 40 A narrow
stamped band imitating twisting is soldered to the side. In addition to Brigetio, many examples are known from Intercisa,41 where, according to the opinion of R. Alf˛ldi M., they may
have arrived as imported artefacts. 42 Dating to the third century is supported by analogies
from a wide territory. 43 The other part of earrings with a closed framework is round-shaped.
Similarly to the former pieces, a closed cylindrical mount encloses the emerald bead. The
mount is surrounded by beads strung on a gold wire in the case of the pair of earrings found
in a burial of the Be¤csi Road cemetery. The beads did not survive, similarly to many other pieces of jewellery, and only the wires fastened to the setting testify that once they were more
colourful. Gold plates imitating small leaves are soldered between the beads. They must
have been made in the third century. A typical representative of this period is an earring
from a rich grave find. The workmanship of the wire surrounding the oval sapphire makes it
probable that there used to be pearls on it, which have mouldered by now. The closed setting of the stone is surrounded by a grooved frame, which covers the bent-back gold wires
that originally held the bead. A similar piece with ruby is known from a fourth-century graveyard in Serdica. 44
Earrings imitating the form of a f lower, with an open or closed framework, came into fashion in the Western provinces before the mid-third century. 45 The central stone is surrounded by beads of different colour. An emerald green or blue stone may be surrounded by
white true pearls, or a white pearl may be encircled by red garnets, for example. The former
pieces from Aquincum with emerald ^ true pearl and sapphire ^ pearl (?) combination also
follow this design. On these pieces gold falls into the background. It is the strong colour of
the gems that is dominating, which is supported by the form, too. Earrings of the Eauze treasure and the Bonn grave find46 help dating them. 47
Composite types combining many basic types differ from the earrings discussed so
far. They mostly combine two parts: The hook is fastened to the part next to the upper hoop,
and a pendant makes the whole piece of jewellery eye-appealing. The upper part can be a
closed box setting with a band ornament, and the pendant is soldered directly to the setting.
One piece of the pair of earrings, coming probably from the territory of the Civil Town, still
has a green frit bead in the framework decorated with a twisted ornament. A true pearl is suspended from it. 48 Often further pendants were added to the ‘‘box’’, particularly east of Pannonia. 49 It is known to have been used from the late second century, and it became even
more popular in the third century. The form of the box setting can be oval, drop-shaped, or
square. 50
The type with an S-shaped hoop soldered to a horizontal bar is essentially different
from the former types. Ornaments made of wire are hanging from it. This type was less popular in the province of Pannonia,51 but it can be often seen on Egyptian mummy portraits. Se39

Earrings on Stone Monuments from Pannonia
veral variants of the earrings consisting of a cross-bar and a suspended bead were in use
from the early Flavian period to the second half of the second century. 52 This simplified form
served as a basis for other types.
In the case of composite earrings with an S-shape hoop and an open, reversed framework the two components had equal importance during the making. The earring is divided
into two parts by a horizontal bar. The upper round part and the lower pendants are fastened to that bar. In Aquincum a piece of jewellery made of gold wire 53 (fig. 6) represents
this variable type, which is popular in many forms. The addition of pendants to the one-part
rosette-shaped earrings came into fashion in the third century, parallel with the former type.
In the case of pieces that belong to this type of jewellery the central pearl is surrounded by
openwork ornament. Apart from this, their design is similar to the piece from Aquincum. 54
Yeroulanou considers these pieces with very similar motifs and design to be mass products. 55 They were particularly widespread in the East. The piece from Aquincum made of
wire has no analogies according to our knowledge. It resembles real openwork artefacts
only in the general aspect.
The representation of earrings on stone monuments
Compared to the number of earrings among artefacts, female figures are only rarely represented with earrings on stone monuments. One reason for this is that tombstones show the
deceased wearing their indigenous garb, which did not involve this type of jewellery. Thus
the representation of earrings was spread only by the acceptance of Roman clothing and
hairstyle. The number of earrings among artefacts increased ^ similarly to other types of jewellery ^ in a period when the number of stone monuments had significantly decreased as a
result of changes in the custom of erecting tombstones.
The other reason is due to the material and workmanship of the stone monuments. Jewellery was only roughly carved on monuments made of easily workable yet very delicate limestone. The details must have been added by painting. By now not only the painting has
disappeared but often even the stone itself has been damaged or worn. In the course of the
secondary use the face often nearly completely disappeared. The ‘‘clumsiness‘‘ of the stone
mason, or even more the rough workmanship of the coiffure may cause further uncertainties concerning the wearing of the jewellery. It cannot be unequivocally decided in every
case whether the stone mason meant to represent the jewellery or a lock of hair. In the case
of reliefs the identification is even more difficult because of the fact that the persons are presented from one viewpoint.
In one badly damaged multi-figured funerary stele from Aquincum,56 (fig. 7) despite
the missing faces, the outline of the heads, the ears, and the coiffure can be recognized well.
There is a male figure on the left, and next to him there are two nearly identical female figures. All of the three figures have longish heads. The stone mason placed the ears unusually
high. Beside the heads of the two women three spheres are visible on each side, which
could well be regarded as large earrings. However, the spheres are behind the ears, and in
spite of the damaged state of the stone the coiffures of the two women, falling in curls on the
shoulders, are well discernible. The hairstyle is once more misleading in the case of a Pannonian tombstone preserved in Eisenstadt: 57 On the roughly carved, worn stone the ears of

the female figure of the represented pair are uncovered. The lower part of the coiffure, combed behind the ears and pinned at the back of the head, is well discernible.
On some tombstones, however, it is clear beyond doubt that the female figure represented on the sculptural work or in the image field is wearing earrings. In addition to adult
women, girls could also have earrings in their ears, the presentation of which is the same as
of the adults’ earrings. It is more difficult, often impossible, to recognize and identify the type
of the earring. In each case the earrings touch the earlobes, or they even slightly cover them.
The earrings are conspicuous and large-sized, and their holders often wear other pieces of
jewellery, most often a necklace, too.
One of the most richly bejewelled families is shown on a medallion from Intercisa,
kept in the Hungarian National Museum. 58 The female member of the family of four is wearing a broad twisted bracelet, a string of beads, a lunula, and round and rectangular earrings. Aurelia Florentia,59 who lived only one year, is also depicted on her tombstone,
discovered in Intercisa, with round earrings fitting close to the ears. Aelia Dubitata 60 is also
wearing a similar piece of jewellery on the tombstone erected for her daughter, Zebuca, in
Aquincum (fig. 8). These earrings belong to a type of varied design and colour scheme fashionable from the AD second third of the third century on.
In spite of the damage of the stone and the strong wear of the faces, the depiction of
the earrings has fortunately been preserved on a fragment from Sopianae. 61 The fragment
of the multi-figured family tombstone shows the fragmentary figure of a woman resting her
both hands on the shoulders of her child. The lower part of her coiffure is bent backwards,
and rectangular earrings can be seen in front of the locks. The stone mason made even the
enclosed gem perceptible. Thus it can be concluded that this jewellery belongs to a type of
earring with a so-called closed box setting.
It is not so easy to determine the type of the jewellery worn by the woman depicted together with her husband and two children on a family tombstone in Aquincum62 (fig. 9). Although her face is worn, the shape of her head and her hairstyle have remained. Her face is
long and narrow, like that of her husband, who is wrinkling his forehead. Her hair, parted in
the middle, is combed in slight waves in two directions and strongly bent backwards above
the shoulders. She has earrings with drop-shaped pendants hanging from her emphatically
carved ears, which can be clearly distinguished from the coiffure. A funerary stele from Intercisa shows a female figure represented in the same way. 63 Contrary to the former, the large
fragmentary tombstone may have been prepared for one woman, whose features are discernible in spite of the minor damages to the stone. Her face is narrow and long, and her hair is
parted in the middle and combed backwards in great waves. It is bent back above the shoulders and pinned at the nape of the neck. The carving of her ears is identical to that of the female figure’s ears on the tombstone from Aquincum. Large, drop-shaped jewellery is
hanging from her ears, which is identical in size and shape with the ear-pendants of the
other figure. The carving of her ears is also conspicuous. The upper eyelids, the iris and the
pupil of the eyes are carefully depicted. A female head from Intercisa is represented in the
same way. 64 She is also depicted with a long, narrow face. Her hairstyle is more intricate.
The hair carefully arranged side-ways in waves is decorated by a small braid above the forehead, and below it curls towards the neck. Her earrings are different from those of the former figures. They are indicated by three small spheres carved one under the other. This
jewellery belongs to the type of earring with a bead decoration. It is preserved on Egyptian

Earrings on Stone Monuments from Pannonia
mummy portraits and can be identified by finds, as well. 65 According to the dating of the
mummy portraits, this type of jewellery was in fashion in the second century, at least in
Egypt. Her necklace, fitting tight to the neck, is also different from the standard portrayal. It
can be identified as a necklace made up of small pressed pieces. It was rare among finds.
An example was found in the Szalacska treasure. 66
Small single spheres indicate that the female figure depicted together with her son
on the portrait medallion from Aquincum was also wearing earrings. 67 Compared to the
wide square face as well as the rough features and drapery, the moderate, wig-like hairstyle
and the large jewellery are surprisingly finely wrought.
The fragment of a relief representing a female head from the Aquincum Civil Town
must have been originally part of a tombstone68 (fig. 10). The hair, parted in the middle, is indicated by strong parallel lines. It covers the forehead, and it may be overlaid by a hair-net.
Double discs can be seen at the ears, which must be interpreted as earrings consisting of
two parts that were widely worn in the second half of the third century. The carving of the
two sides is not identical. The upper discs can also be interpreted as jewellery used for fixing
the hair-net. However, the rough carving of the relief and the frontal representation make
this explanation uncertain. The small spheres visible below them indicate earrings that cannot be more exactly specified. In addition to the earrings, the lady is wearing a necklace
made of rectangular parts, which are also carved more roughly at the sides of the neck.
The identification of the jewellery belonging to the female figure represented on another tombstone fragment form Aquincum is less ambiguous. 69 Although we focus on the specification of the type of the earring here, we cannot leave another characteristic of the
fragment unmentioned, either. On the merely 4542 cm large fragment only a female head
has been preserved. Her hair, parted in the middle and combed on both sides behind the
ears, is covered by a turban made of narrow bands, which was also popular in the 1970 s.
The ears are slightly standing off, and the oval upper parts of the two-parted earrings are
set close to the earlobes.
A three-figured funerary stele was discovered without an epitaph in Aquincum. The limestone relief shows two men and the half of a female figure. The woman in the middle is holding an apple and wearing a string of round beads around her neck and two-parted
earrings with three pendants in her ears 70 (fig. 11). Her hair is combed backwards, and behind the large-sized ears it comes down to her shoulders. The cross-bars of her earrings fitting very close to her earlobes may have been decorated on the base of the carving. The
two parts of the pair of earrings are not completely identical.
Only the heads of the family members depicted have remained on a richly decorated
tombstone fragment from Sopianae. 71 Although the eyes are distinct, the stone mason carved them without pupils. There is a kind of mysterious smile on the faces. The cheeks are
bulgy. The ears are thick, f leshy and slightly standing off. There is a thick and smooth headgear on the head of the woman. Her hair is combed behind the ears and is apparently held
together at the nape. Considering that the stone mason took care to carve the details, particularly in the case of the little girl, it is difficult to explain the representation of the haistyle together with the hair-net. The coiffure of the little girl consists of carefully arranged braids
and is ornamented by jewellery (a diadem ?). Its central piece is identical with the earrings of
both female figures: it is a two-part type with pendants. The shape of the upper part of the

earring fitting close to the earlobe is rectangular. The box setting is holding a gem, and a
three-parted pendant is hanging form it. The carving of the earrings is somewhat different.
Nevertheless, from the basis of the earring that the mother is having in her right ear it can be
assumed that the pendants were decorated by beads at the bottom. Similar earrings may
have decorated the ears of the female figure of another fragment from Sopianae. 72 Little
has remained of their shape. However, on the left, next to the lock, the pendant of the woman’s earring and a part of her necklace are visible. The young girl represented on the
same fragment is wearing the same type of jewellery. The dating of the tombstone is aided
by the cross-bow brooch of the cape of the man standing beside the woman. Aurelia Ianuaria is wearing the same type of jewellery on the funerary stele of Aurelius Ianuarius. 73 The
girl has a mounted coin or a medallion suspended from the string of beads around her
neck. Two-parted earrings with box settings and pendants can be identified on a tombstone
of unknown provenience preserved in the Hungarian National Museum, 74 and on the repre75
sentation of Aurelia Valentina from Celje.
The dating of the strongly damaged tombstone with five figures and a blank epitaph
field from the Military Town of Aquincum was also supported by the earrings of the depicted
woman. 76 The relief shows the figures of three adults, two men and a woman, standing close
to one another, and the busts of two children in front of them. Their faces are damaged, and
their features and the carving of their eyes are not preserved. The woman standing in the
middle has a long, narrow face. Her hair is parted in the middle. Her locks are indicated by
thin lines, and she has earrings with two beads in both ears where her hair is bent back. Earrings constructed from one or two hemispheres were worn in the late Roman period. A pair
of such earrings made of gold is known from the Intercisa cemetery. 77 A similar earring
made of double hemispheres can be seen on a head of strange history preserved in the
King Matthias Museum in Visegra¤d. 78 The re-carved head walled up in the watch tower of
Visegra¤d-Lepence originally belonged to a female figure identified as a funerary statue
from Aquincum. When the head was discovered, the set of jewellery of the represented lady
was completed for us, too (fig. 12).
Earrings or ‘‘clips’’? Notes on the wearing of Roman earrings
The earring is the only type of jewellery the wearing of which requires some kind of external
intervention, some ‘‘modification’’ of the body. Plinius the Elder refers to the custom of piercing the earlobe. Writing of the ear, he says, ‘‘† in alia parte feminis maius inpendium margaritis dependentibus †’’79 Although there are no exact data for it, the operation may have
been carried out already in childhood. This is supported by several representations and a
great number of earrings discovered in child burials, which have the same form as the jewellery of adult women. In addition to the representation of young girls on stone monuments,
two mummy portraits preserved in Berlin may serve as evidence. On these portraits the deceased children were painted together with their jewellery. 80 After the operation, however,
wearing was necessary. Scholars have so far taken no notice of this fact, which had no effect on the form of the jewellery, but which had a great impact on the mode of wearing.
The earring could be put on with the help two different structural elements of imperial
period jewellery. One possibility was the closed hoop, which had at a small hook fastener at

one end and a loop for the hook to pass through at the other. The hoop was normally
made of plain wire, which could be decorated by soldered pieces or by various pendants. In
the case of the other basic type the hoop was open. It was made of wire bent in the form of a
slightly irregular letter S, and it was attached to the back of the jewellery. An earring consisting of a closed hoop could only be worn in a pierced ear. On stone monuments, because of
the technique of the representation, we can only expect the two-parted type, or, to be more
precise, in their present state we can only recognise these types. However, one variant of the
so-called ‘‘S-hook’’ types could also be worn without the piercing of the ear, similarly to modern clips. In fact, its mode of wearing can be explained only in this way. The original mode
of wearing can be reconstructed only in the case of the two-parted types with pendants, because the position of the pendants indicates the proper direction. Among finds from Aquincum there are examples for both modes of wearing of S-hoop composite variants. At the
first variant, the upsweep of the hoop makes it easier to hook it into the pierced ear (fig. 13).
In this case, however, the upper part of the jewellery could not sit close to the ear. Its distance from the earlobe depended on the length of the hook (fig. 15). At the other variant, the
hoop curves towards the pendant, that is downwards, and thus it was impossible to hook it
into the ear (fig. 14). When it was worn, the lower part of the earlobe was coiled around by
the S-shaped hoop, which reversely to the ordinary suspension hook, was soldered to the
back of the upper part of the jewellery. The fastening prevented the hook from becoming dislodged (fig. 16). Thus the upper part fit closely to the earlobe, as it can be seen, among
others, on the representation of the unknown woman with ‘‘archaic’’ smile on the stone monument from Pe¤cs, or on the image of Primilla. 81 The bent wire was f lexible enough to be
pressed on the earlobe, and at the same time its strength was sufficient for carrying the jewellery. This explains the existence of the excessively enlarged hooks. It is probable that the
large earrings that came into fashion in the third century and the upper parts of which were
often decorated with openwork were made in this way, covering the structure with pendants. 82 The pair of earrings of the Lyon treasure83 must have been worn in this way, and
there are further examples of this design int other parts of the Roman Empire including Pannonia. 84
