Description
This genuine Roman copper-alloy ring, named "Numerius," dates to the Imperial period, most likely between the 1st and 4th century AD. The ring features an octagonal bezel engraved with a linear motif reminiscent of Roman numerals or numerological marks-symbols widely used for personal identification and meaning throughout the Empire. The ring's robust form, dark ancient patina, and hand-engraved detail are all classic hallmarks of Roman craftsmanship.
