Rings VII, XLII, XLVII

(1/1)

Rugser:
They are these rings of the legionarius?
VII ; XLII ; XLVII   ??? ???
Every comment will be appreciated.
Thanks

Akropolis:
All definitely Roman in shape, and I can think of no other possible explanation than legionary affiliation for those Roman numerals.

The only problem is that there were never any legions numbered above XXX (XXX Ulpia Victrix under Trajan and an earlier XXX under Caesar I think).  I have never seen the number for a Cohort or a cavalry Ala higher than XXXII either.  So I think you will have to look for another explanation.
