A Roman gold finger ring of 'keeled' type of Henig Type VIII which generally dates to the 3rd century AD. The plain D-section hoop widens into triangular shoulders, decorated with three flutes. On the lower inside of the band there is a small fold in the metal, but the ring is in good condition and unworn. The ring is mounted with a prominent oval bezel consisting of a dark red carnelian intaglio encased within a box setting. The intaglio portrays in profile, a standing winged figure, probably Victory, facing left. It is rendered in a crude style but some detail can be made out in the…

Description: The ring consists of a short, plain rod, the ends of which have been drawn out, bent round and overlapped, then hammered flat together to form an irregular circle, which is thicker at the front; diameter: 22 mm. There is a deep nick on one side which was cut in antiquity, probably with the point of a knife to test that it was not plated. Similar nicks are often seen on silver ingots of the Viking period. Discussion: Rings which have simply overlapped ends and are thicker at the front are typical of the Viking period e.g. from Gotland, Sweden (L. Thunmark-Nylén, 1998, …
