Ancient Roman ring - Looking for any additional info

<< < (3/3)

Ave!

Pretty sure that this is not a Roman ring but, as previously mentioned, most likely
Medieval in origin.

Cast as one piece, the circle-and-dot pattern was then engraved. As others have noted that was a very simple
and eye-pleasing decoration. Evil eye...? Hmm

"The coins that came up with it were from around the year 240-250 (Gordian III and Philip I).  I bought a few."

JjW - Your timeline conjecture of coins and the ring is certainly moot.  In the very same field, detectorists can discover pretty much anything from the Bronze Age to 20th Century...trust me, I know.  ::)

The only way I know to improve your ring without polishing it is to simply wear it.  8)
