Abstrak
From the 1st century BC onward, the Greco-Roman world was fed with an unprecedented quantity of gemstones imported from India through the Indian Ocean. As one studies their trajectory through literary sources and archaeological finds, different perspectives open up in archaeology and art history. This article serves as an introduction to the topic and explores two of its aspects in particular. Firstly, the gemstones circulating between the Mediterranean world and South Asia ; secondly, the role of India with regards to the Greco-Roman perception of gemstones, notably through an analysis of works by Posidippus of Pella and Pliny the Elder.
