This phiale, on whose medallion the bust of a bearded male is represented, must have been made in one of the eastern provinces of the [Roman Empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Empire/) or in the Kingdom of Kartli ([Iberia](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/iberia/)), which is located in what's modern Georgia. Goldsmithery was an especially advanced branch of aristanship in the Kingdom of Kartli. This item was excavated from the Armazikhevi archaeological, [burial](https://www.worldhistory.org/burial/) no. 6., and dates from c. 100-350 CE. (Georgian National Museum, Tbilisi)
