Description: | An incomplete silver Romano-British finger ring. The ring is of Henig type VIII, dating to the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The hoop is missing. The bezel is circular and the shoulders are triangular. Each shoulder is decorated with two incised swirls with a dividing line down the centre. The circular bezel is decorated with a single capital letter 'T' engraved into the centre. This single letter denotes the god-name Totatis, who was a popular deity in the East Midlands, especially in Lincolnshire where he is known from numerous rings inscribed 'ToT'.
