ROMAN RING, 2ND-5TH CENTURY AD, SIZE 5

Good quality and heavy proportions with 4.5mm ridged band with distinct “Roman” lug to the bottom.  Lenticular bezel which is cut with a lattice serving as a signet, which identified the owner and could be used to seal legal matters. (In Ben Hur, the title character identifies himself by stamping Messala’s tablet with his ring which bears the signet of Quintus Arrius.) Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift box with Certificate of Authenticity. Good wearable size.
