FINGER RING
Unique ID: PAS-A9DAC2
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
A Roman silver finger-ring with D-shaped hoop and broad oval bezel set with a neatly-bevelled carnelian with worn plain polished face.
Date: 2nd - 3rd century AD.
Dimensions: external width 25 mm; internal width 18.2 mm.
Weight: 12.1 g.
Notes:
Twelve late Roman base metal coins submitted with the ring are unlikely to have comprised a hoard and as such fall outside the provisions of the Treasure act 1996.
In terms of age, and as the finger-ring contains a minimum of 10% precious metal, it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
