An ancient engraved gold amuletic bead.
Roman, 3rd–4th century AD.

Weight: 4.17 grams.
A finely crafted hollow gold bead with a square profile, each of its four faces engraved with the inscriptions: ZEYC, CAPA, π IC, and EIC’. Likely intended as an amuletic object, the inscriptions suggest a syncretic blend of Greek and Latin, possibly invoking protective or religious significance.
