Ave!

Ring, Roman, Men's, Victory, ca. 1st-3rd Cent AD

Copper alloy; 2.2gm - Ring size 10 3/4

Con/ Band cleaned and polished to about "as fabricated' condition. Certainly wearable!

Description/ Cast as a single band then deeply engraved with winged Victory, standing left, holding  palm frond.

Seller's Note/ Such images of Victory were always shown on Roman coins after successful battles...but exactly which battle is moot. As to who wore this ring is also moot but most likely a Roman legion centurion, not rich, nor poor, but had enough denarius to purchase, and wear, such an expensive ring. Was it used as a personal signet to seal letters and documents...? Well, your guess is as good as ours.
