Authentic Ancient Roman Centurion's Ring - Gold - 1st. Century A.D.
This is an authentic Roman Centurion's ring made of gold.
This ring has been dated to around the first century A.D. thus making it around 1900 years old!
It shows the Roman legionnairy eagle carved into the bezel.
Also in Roman times, gold jewelry was expensive and out of financial reach of the common soldiers and such a dedicated military ring was only for the higher ranking officiers such as Centurions. Common soldiers usually had to make do with less expensive bronze jewelry.
It is in very good, unrestored condition and was unearthed at a battle site in the Balkan, Eastern Europe, an area where the Romans often went to war to subdue the East Celts.
Holding this artefact in one's hands, one can almost feel the power and might of the Roman Empire!
Everybody can go to the shopping mall and simply pick a new piece of jewelry out of enormous stocks of freshly made items but how many of you have ever given (or gotten!) a present to a near or dear one with such history embedded into it, such character, the patina of 1900 years battling the elements and so unique that there is truely only ONE of it in the world?
Just imagine that this ring could have been on the finger of a Roman Centurion when he fearlessly headed his men into battle against the rebellious Celts!
And... just try to imagine how this ring will look on the finger of a modern day military man...
The ring weighs 2.93 grams and has a diameter of some 20 mm which corresponds to a US size 10 1/4.
We qualify this ring as in original, unrestored condition and highly wearable.
Possibly your local jeweler could resize it to make it fit perfectly.
