Authentic Ancient Roman Ring - Bronze - 1st - 3rd. Century A.D.
This is an authentic Roman ring made of bronze.
This ring has been dated to the first to third century A.D. thus making it between 1700 and 2000 years old!
It is in very good, unrestored condition and was unearthed at a dig site in the ancient Roman province of Moesia which roughly corresponds to parts of Serbia and Bulgaria in the Balkan region, 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, glory and might of the Roman Empire!
A CELESTIAL DESIGN!!!
This ring was found at a Roman site in Ancient Thracia and dates from around 100 - 300 A.D.
This ring features a "classic" flat bezel in a style commonly known as the "diamond-lobe" style with a marvelously engraved motif.
It is the VERY FIRST time that I have ever seen this decoration on this ring type.
This design is usually done on rings with round bezels.
The design is SUPER and is of a 8 pointed star inside of a crescent moon and both of them sailing across the night sky.
Sometimes these designs refer to a specific place and on some occasions they refer to a specific celestial event or a day of the year when such an event will occur which is quite exciting from an astronomical or astrological point of view.
There are also curved lines forming an outlining circle around the bezel face and they may just be an outline but they are most likely a "Sun" symbol which is very exciting.
There are also some nice sized lobes on each shoulder of the ring and the band is one of the thickest that I have seen on this ring-type as you can tell in the last picture of this ring.
The bright golden color and SUPER shine of this gem makes it a 1st Rate ring.
There are even some nice casting marks on the inside surfaces.
This is a super collectible for anyone interested in astronomy or astrology and is the BEST example of this type of ring that I have come across in a LONG time.
Just LOOK at the picture below and you will see just how THICK the band of this example is.
The color and shine of this ring are both 1st rate and my poor camera technique can't begin to capture the TRUE BEAUTY of this AMAZING ring.
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 1700 years battling the elements and so unique that there is truely only ONE of it in the world?
Imagine that 1700 years ago, a Roman citizen had this ring commissioned and gave it to his beloved wife...
Wouldn't it be great if some 1700 years later, this process would be repeated?
We qualify this ring as restored and perfectly wearable.
It weighs 4.19 grams.
Possibly your local jeweler could resize it to make it fit perfectly.
