2nd C. Legionary Ring

Description

2nd Century Bronze Roman Legionary Ring with Blue Glass Intaglio

The oval intaglio of this large 2nd century Roman legionary ring is made of very dark blue glass, which takes up virtually all of the width of the bezel. The intaglio bears a moulded design of Hercules, which is fairly detailed. The shank of the ring has been slightly flattened, but this ring is an unusual and interesting find from Northumbria.
