Description
A Roman Gold Finger Ring with Latin Inscription
Circa 1st-2nd Century A.D.
Ring size 8; Width 15/16 inch (2.38 cm); High karat gold; 7.97 dwt.
Provenance:

The inscription "BOV PIXI" is unclear and likely denotes a familial name or motto. A possible interpretation might include an abbreviation: "BOV" for "BOVIS" (indicating strength or wealth), and "PIXI" could represent a unique spelling of "PAX" (peace) or a personal name.
