Probable Roman copper-alloy finger-ring of Henig Type IX / Guiraud Type 9. The hoop is a simple closed polygon with nine external facets and nine internal facets (nonagonal) of approximately equal length. It is radially thicker on one side, with one facet being the thickest of all. The facets on either side of this become progressively but marginally thinner until the four facets directly opposite the thickest one are reached. These last four are the thinnest facets, and appear to be equally so. On at least one face of the hoop (when viewed from the side, as you would view a coin…
