Gold-glass medallion showing Heracles and a husband and wife, and a small image of Herakles, 4th. The man wears a tunic with a red stripe and she wears a gemstone nacklace with pendant pearls. The inscription to "Orfitus and Constantia" could point to Memmius Vitruvius Orfitus, a pagan aristocrat and prefect of Rome in the 4th century. Herakles wears the skin of the Nemean lion and carries his club and the apples of the Hesperides, which were his wedding present to Jupiter and Juno, suggesting that the medallion was a wedding gift.
