I see women, maybe Amazons? Queen and daughter?

I googled Roman Cameo and found this:

I don't know if this helps but at least it's a double portrait.

Interesting 🙂

I guess I thought they both looked feminine but not sure now.

A romantic idea is maybe they are married and this was s gift to her before he went off to battle.

Antony and Cleopatra? Is there any imagery on their head gear?

 photo 0bd055e0-f76a-4f06-b6fc-f8dfa2c4abf8.jpgisn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit

I think I figured it out.... I think it's Anthony & Cleopatra!  You can see she has an egyptian like headress with that snake standing up

I don't know if it is Anthony & Cleopatra or not, but I found a similar one (ended item).

I think the subject is Roman Soldier and Goddess. It does look like a Roman Soldier with the shield and headress.

And the long curly locks 😉

I think the long hair hanging out from the helmet is why I thought both were women.

I think they both are women because neither one has an adam's apple.  A woman in a helmet with a shield could be the goddess Athena, but I don't know who the other one would be...
