Abstract:		 An insight into the personal taste and ideals of members of the Roman army can be gained by studying seal-rings. Two types of intaglio, variants of the Polykleitan figures, deserve particular attention because there are six well-documented British examples and because they bear on the Roman military cursus. Type I shows a warrior identified as Theseus; Type II, Achilles. Both heroes are depicted just before they achieve greatness, and both bear weapons derived from their fathers. Military sites produce seals of other heroes too, and of a range of non-military subjects. Such gems provided their owners with more than a spur to action, since they reflect a whole host of Roman ideals such as service to the state, filial piety and reverence for past glories. The theme is carried on in wall-paintings, parade-gear and statuary from military sites.
