The present study explores a little-studied and reinterpreted early Roman Imperial cameo depicting Antonia Minor (36 bc–ad 37), which came into the possession of the Holy Roman emperor, Charles IV of Luxembourg (1316–78), a collector of ancient gems. It was presumably by his order that the ancient cameo was set in a splendid gold reliquary cross which he commissioned after his imperial coronation to house relics of the True Cross. Thus, in the new setting, the cameo could be perceived as the divine Antonia Minor; Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, who allegedly discovered the True Cross; or Saint Catherine, Charles’ heavenly protectress. The cross is today preserved in the Treasury of Saint Vitus Cathedral, Prague.

布拉格 14 世纪圣物十字架上的安东妮亚·米诺的皇家肖像浮雕

本研究探讨了一点,研究并重新诠释了早期的罗马帝国客串描绘小安东尼娅(36 BC-广告37),它进入了藏神圣罗马帝国皇帝,卢森堡的查理四世(1316年至1378年),古收藏家宝石。大概是按照他的命令,古代浮雕被镶嵌在一个华丽的金色圣物十字架上,这是他在加冕后委托的,用来存放真十字架的遗物。因此,在新的环境中,客串可以被视为神圣的小安东尼娅;海伦娜,君士坦丁大帝的母亲,据称发现了真十字架;或圣凯瑟琳,查尔斯的天上保护者。十字架今天保存在布拉格圣维特大教堂的宝库中。
