ARIKAMEDU has produced a Graeco-Roman gem bearing the head of Augustus in intaglio. The Bibliotheque at Pondicherry also possessses a quartz intaglio of Graeco-Roman workmanship, representing Cupid and a bird, apparently an eagle. The gem is untrimmed and may therefore have been made locally by a Mediterranean craftsman.
