Description: | A Roman silvered copper-alloy finger ring inscribed with the letters TOT. The ring is of Henig Type VIII and has a circular bezel, triangular shoulders and a damaged, tapered hoop. The bezel is worn but clearly shows the letters T.T, an abbreviation of the Celtic god-name Totatis (or Toutatis). The letters are not very clear when viewed on the photographs, however. The shoulders are mostly covered with corrosion but in one area a punched crescent is visible. The surface of the ring has a silver appearance with frequent patches of copper corrosion.Finger rings inscribed with the letters ToT or T.T are well known in the East Midlands, especially in Lincolnshire where the majority of examples have been found. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
