CLASSIC ROMAN RING, 1st-3rd CENTURY AD, SIZE 4 1/2-5 10 1/2 Broad thick oval bezelForm identical to Ancient Rings p. 53 and 54, identified as Henig type Xb with semi oval band, stepped below the oval bezel. That example is described as having a Zoroastrian motif scene and is base metal. This example has a similar motif, unidentified, but very likely Zoroastrian as well. The shape makes sizing difficult but it is small, about 4 5 with 2. 4mm band width. Condition is as found. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
