Good evening guys,
I got myself this ring some time ago and don't know how to feel about it.
The
weight is about 10.30 grams, 26.31mm overall
diameter and 20.20mm internal
diameter. It should be presumably third century AD, idk why there's a symbol of a sun, maybe
sol invictus which was becoming quite popular back then? Only guessing haha.
Got some references:
-
Cf. Henkel, F., Die Römischen Fingerringe der Rheinlande und der Benachbarten Gebiete,
Berlin, 1913
-
Ruseva-Slokoska, L.,
Roman Jewellery,
Sofia, 1991, item 184, for
type.
Sadly I don't own any of those reference books as they're quite pricey so I can't get access to it.
How would one get it authenticate? Got reactions of museum or
antiquity experts but idk where to find those, maybe here is someone with some knowledge. But maybe without
provenance it's impossible.
Thank you for your time and have a great day.
