<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3441865, member: 5833"]Unsurprisingly, three of the most common cameo subjects are Hera/Juno, the (rather refractory) wife, Demeter/Ceres, the devoted mother, and Hebe, the dutiful daughter, nice lady-like choices. Just as common are cameos of bacchantes/maenads. Did this indicate a more sophisticated wearer, or one who wanted to be seen that way? It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall listening to women making their selection for a cameo purchase. How much consideration did they give to 'What does this say about me?'[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
