Description
Ca. AD 200 - 300 .
A 21 ct Roman gold ring, comprising an annular band adorned with relief elliptical motifs along its length.

This gold ring remains an item symbolizing social elite status. For similar see: El Legado de Hefesto n. 313. This piece has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements.
