Roman Ring Key, circa 1st-2nd Cent AD

Copper alloy; 30mm/9.1gm

Con/ As Cast; remarkable and eye-pleasing green patina; cleaned and waxed.

A truly wonderful example of a ring key that was used to keep things secret and safe by well-to-do ancient Romans.

Such big and clunky ring keys were worn on a chain or strap about the neck, but if you are so inclined, it's a ring size 5 1/2
