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.
