Ave!

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

Copper alloy; 11.8gm, Ring size 8

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

Description/ Cast on a large and heavy bronze band, blue paste bezel, featuring winged Victory, standing left, holding wreath and palm frond, and standing on a globe.

Ref/ Guiraud Type 2 = 1st Century BC - 3rd Century AD

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. If his ring was used as a personal signet to seal letters and documents....Well, your guess is as good as ours.
