Ancient coin in ring - can't identify
« on: May 14, 2017, 02:29:31 am »
I acquired this heavy ring with an ancient coin embedded in it. I'm having a lot of trouble indentifying it. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Chris and welcome to Forvm.

Late 4th century Roman. Perhaps Valentinian I based on what I can see in the legend.
