I'm afraid I can't help with an ID, but what a breathtakingly beautiful artifact!!!! Did you find it yourself?

Almost certainly not Roman.  Roman bowls tended to be fairly thin.  Most importantly I don't think I have never seen a Roman bowl with integral handles like yours.  The handles - even if D-form - are always attached separately.  The handles are also not the right shape for Roman.

I think not Roman and likely a modern antique.
