Description: | Roman silver finger ring, probably of 3rd century AD date
The finger ring is complete and is comparatively large with an internal diameter of 22.82mm (27.55mm external) and weighing 11.5g. The ring has a width of 9.63mm and is composed of ten concave panels or facets (4.1mm long) separated by rounded ribs. Each of the panels contains a stamped letter:
V T E (rev.) R E (rev.) F E(rev.) L I X
Forming the inscription:
Utere Felix
Meaning ?Carry Fortune?
There is the suggestion of a vertical column of five punched dots on the rib between the last ?E? of Utere and the ?F? of Felix. | 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: | 200
