    I have been dealing in Roman intaglios on and off for twenty years.
    I have bought them in Paris, Athens, Boston, N.Y. and even once in
    Tucson. They are tiny sculptures of the period. Value has to do with
    a number of factors. Size, quality of engraving, condition, etc. They
    are the most abundant and least expensive intaglios in a tradition
    that goes back to about 6,000 BC.
