Roman Silver & Carnelian Finger Ring, Roman Imperial Period, ca. 2nd - 3rd century CE
This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $75 if shipping internationally.
A Roman silver ring with a thick tapering shank, the bezel set with a raised round carnelian intaglio carved with the standing figure of Sol, the Roman god of the sun, gesturing in one hand and holding his whip dangling behind him in the other. The letters ATH are in the field.
The Roman god Sol was believed to ride a golden chariot that carried the sun across the skies every day from East to West. Although a native Italian deity, he is often linked to the Greek god Helios and is depicted with the same flaming halo.

Condition: Some normal wear on the top edge, otherwise intact, and in excellent condition overall. A very nice example.
