These artifacts were originally designed to be enjoyed by their owners and I have tried to return these treasures to a state which will both charm and enchant their new owners and show the skill and craftsmanship of old. What a WELL MADE ring!!!This ring was found at a Roman battlefield site and dates from between 100 - 300 A.D.This ring features 16mm x 12mm button shaped bezel with a nicely done Star-Cross on the bezel. While I have seen quite a few of these Star Crosses, we do not usually see example where the "arms" are so crisp and deep. This is a great, added detail that really sets this example apart from it's more common cousins and is closely related in style to the example up above in my Antiquities Corner banner. There are also some nice linear decorations framing the center of this ring's bezel.The color and shine of this ring are both 1st rate as it was cast from a super "high copper" alloy. The ring is a bit oval shaped from being worn for so many years and there is a small nick to the band but the ring remains complete.It was quite common for Roman soldier's to build up quite a little cache of "liberated" jewelry which they would use as a form of currency for their favorite activities, gambling, women, food and drink. Above and below are two more views of this EXCITING ring. Above are a group of the shiny gems that I am offering tonight. ________________________________________________________________This ring is Round & Sound and wearable with careThis ring has a Wonderful Golden color to it with faint patina traces remainingThis ring is out of round from being worn on the same finger for many decades but fits right around a size 9 1/4 or maybe a 9 1/2 American ________________________________________________________________ This ring is a TRUE GEM and would make a wonderful addition to any collection or as a piece of wearable ANCIENT ART!We will include a Certificate of Authenticity with each ring Be sure to check out ALL of our other auctions for more nice pieces of Ancient Jewelry.Please note that we have gone to private auction to protect our buyers from people who have been harvesting the email addresses of our buyers and sending them emails with false offers or other misleading information.
