ABSTRACT: In 1994, within the village Nichiteni, commune Coțușca (Botoșani county), an onix cameo engraved with the image of Gorgo Medusa was discovered.
Based on stylistic details and analogies, it can be framed chronologically in the period of the 3rd century AD, being certainly a product of the workshops of the Roman Empire, which operated during this period. From a stylistic point of view, the object belongs to type II and to Popović variant 3 in the typology dedicated to this class of intaglios. It is currently in the deposits of the Botoșani County Museum.
