Le gemme romane e post-antiche del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari provides a catalogue raisonne of around 200 engraved gems from the Roman and post-antique periods currently or formerly preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy). Through archival and bibliographic research, it was possible to determine the processes of acquisition and the historical-antiquarian collection to which they belong (Spano, Timon and Gouin). Their acquisition took place through donations or through purchase by the museum between the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, defining the historical stages in the formation of the Museum’s collection. The study of this series of gems arose from the desire to discover and define the significant information potentially inherent to this artistic category, which lies between the public and private spheres. It also highlights the importance of the most conspicuous glyptic collection of the island, which can offer a socio-cultural, religious and political overview of the people of Roman Sardinia.

Miriam Napolitano obtained a master’s degree in Archaeological Heritage (in 2017) and a PhD (in 2021) at the University of Cagliari, Italy. Her research activity focuses on the material culture of Roman Sardinia and on the impressions of Neoclassical period gems belonging to the Sardinian archaeologist Filippo Nissardi (1852-1922). She has collaborated with the University of Cagliari as part of the Nora Isthmos Project team since 2013. She is in the editorial board of scientific journals on archaeology and related interdisciplinary areas.

'The book on the gems of the National Museum of Cagliari is valuable for its flowing style and valuable content, capable of appealing to a wide audience, not only glyptic scholars. Any new contribution to a collection of precious gems, whether unpublished or partially published, is undoubtedly a commendable contribution to the corpus of ancient gems. Further research could open up a new chapter in the studies of the Sardinian glyptic heritage, expand the data collected through the analysis of specimens - especially those of known provenance - and identify new, hitherto little-known aspects. Furthermore, the overall research of this rare material preserved in Sardinia may prove to be a complementary means of investigation, not only for the study of glyptic iconography, but also for the knowledge of the historical and economic characteristics of a territory, such as the enchanting land of Sardinia.'
