Description: | Treasure reference number 2013 T469: A Roman silver finger ring dating to the second or third century. The ring relatively large and chunky. The bezel is subrectangular and has a perimeter formed by a series of small arches. One side is damaged. The surface of the bezel contains a number of irregular scratches and patches of a green-silver coloured corrosion product, suggesting that an intaglio or setting was once attached to the face. The shoulders are triangular and decorated with scrolls along the edges, and two rope-like ribs in the middle. The hoop is hexagonal in profile and D-shaped in section.
