In a lecture titled Three Thousand Years of Ancient Engraved Gems, Dr. Erika Zwierlein-Diehl, Honorary Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Bonn, discusses the history of gem engraving in the Mediterranean area. Gem engraving began in the third millennium bc, in the Minoan civilization of Crete. The first images were hand cut in relatively soft stones. From circa 1600 bc onwards, harder materials like carnelian or rock crystal were used, engraved at a lathe with rotating drills. The collapse of the Mycenaean civilization brought the end of the art of engraving too. However, the arts revived after the “Dark Ages,” flourished during the entire Greek period, and spread throughout Etruria and Italy. In the first century bc Greek gem-engravers found new clients in Rome, where they not only contributed much to the rise of Augustan art, but influenced later styles as well.
