Guaranteed these bronze
rings were made in ancient times? No, but most likely since not one of these
rings is perfectly round and each has a flaw of one kind or another. Hopefully not made by some little Chinaman in
his backyard
shop (as I've been told). The second ring on the left in Lot #3 is silver and was worn by someone of importance, most likely a Legion Officer. I bought these
rings in 'cleaned' condition in a size which fits my little finger enabling me to wear them.
I realize once cleaned their value is zilch. No matter as I wear one each and every single day and have been for many years. How much closer can you get to those ancient times and to the
man who last wore one of these
rings? In those days
Roman Legionaires, Celt Warriors and other tribesmen lived for 'Wine, Women & Song'; their lives oft curtailed in battle.
Tell me, are you going to carry an ancient
Roman coin in your pocket for years? Better to wear a ring on your finger. No?
* Not sure if your program can do this but if you double click on each of the pics you can see a real close-up of the
rings. Notice that there is
still a hint of
patina on some of them.
