The use of ram’s-head motifs in ancient Greek jewellery reflects the close interplay between mythology, agriculture, and social values in Greek culture.

The ram played an important role in many ancient cultures. In classical Greece, the ram was viewed as a symbol of sexual power and virility and connected to Zeus, Hermes and other deities. In Rome there were similar beliefs.

Ram amulets could be associated with virility, fertility, sacrifice and divine protection, and could also a part of funeral rites and sacrificial offerings.
