Description: | Treasure: 2009 T117 "Treasure report: Treasure Report for HM Coroner Roman silver 'ToT' finger ring from Market Rasen Area, Lincolnshire A complete silver finger ring of Henig Type VIII. The bezel is circular, slightly raised from the hoop and is inscribed with the serrifed letters 'ToT'. The shoulders are triangular in plan with serrated edges and are decorated with a moulded 'V' shaped groove, ornamented with short diagonal lines. The hoop is thick and rectangular in cross-section. There is slight damage to the right shoulder where the edges are missing. This does not appear to be recent. The letters 'ToT' are thought to be an abbreviation for the Celtic god-name Totatis. Rings inscribed with the letters ToT are well known from the East Midlands, especially in Lincolnshire. The object fulfils the Treasure Act (1996) in that it is more than 300 years old and has a precious metal content exceeding 10%.
