The ring is made in one piece, with a slender hoop that widens toward the shoulders. Faint linear engravings remain visible on the shoulders, consisting of short parallel lines crossed by a transverse stroke, decorative rather than symbolic, and smoothed through long wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"540\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eDetails\u003cbr data-start=\"547\" data-end=\"550\"\u003eMaterial: Bronze (copper alloy), glass\u003cbr data-start=\"588\" data-end=\"591\"\u003eDate: Late Roman to Early Medieval, 4th–10th century CE\u003cbr data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"649\"\u003eRing Size: EU 50 \/ US 5.25\u003cbr data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"678\"\u003eProvenance: Private Belgian collection, acquired in the 1960s\u003cbr data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"742\"\u003eUnique Identifier: R-152-B\u003cbr data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eCondition: Intact, with surface wear, stable patina, and minor surviving engraved detail consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003eRestoration and Authenticity\u003cbr data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"912\"\u003eThis piece is preserved in its untouched state, showing natural aging and patina from centuries of use.

The construction method and simple shoulder decoration reflect metalworking traditions that originate in the Late Roman period and continue into the early and central medieval era. Such rings were everyday items rather than symbols of rank, worn by civilians across transitional societies where Roman practices persisted alongside emerging medieval forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60879157461322,"sku":"R-152-B","price":140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/IMG_9752.jpg?v=1768665230","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.store\/products\/late-roman-to-early-medieval-bronze-ring-with-red-glass-cabochon-rubellus-4th-10th-ce-eu-50-us-5-25","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
