Moins
Historical Context & Origin
Region: Eastern Mediterranean / Near East
Material: Cast bronze with aged patina
Period: Circa 1st–3rd Century CE (Roman Imperial Era)
Description
This authentic ancient bronze ring originates from a private assemblage of antiquities acquired in Europe and represents a well-preserved example of Roman provincial metalwork. Featuring a thick, rounded shank and a subtly raised bezel, the exterior displays incised geometric scrollwork characteristic of personal adornments worn throughout the Roman Empire. The deep olive-brown patina reflects nearly two millennia of mineral interaction and stable burial conditions.
Rings of this type were commonly worn by traders, soldiers, and citizens across Roman territories, functioning both as decorative jewelry and as markers of identity, status, and regional craftsmanship.
Features
- Solid bronze construction with historic natural patina
- Incised decorative motifs around the band
- Robust, wearable form typical of Roman-era adornment
- Excellent structural preservation considering its antiquity
- From a curated private collection of ancient rings
Cultural Significance
Bronze rings served multiple roles within Roman society—everyday jewelry, protective talismans, and symbols of loyalty or occupation. Their durable material and timeless design have allowed many examples to survive as intimate relics of the ancient world. This piece offers collectors and historians a direct connection to daily life in the Roman provinces.
