Description: | Glass bezel from a Roman finger-ring. Very dark blue with a layer of pale blue glass on top, as a nicolo imitation. It is oval with bevelled edges and flat upper and lower surfaces. The engraved device represents a human figure advancing right, possibly of Mercury, holding what might be a purse in the left hand and carrying something over the right shoulder. It is heavily abraded and has some damage to the upper surface and there is slight damage to the outer edge on the reverse. It dates from the 2nd-3rd centuries. It is 9.8mm long, 6.9mm wide, 3.0mm thick and weighs 0.32g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 100
