Description

This Roman provincial bronze seal ring features an oval bezel engraved with a schematic scene showing a human figure interacting with a horse. The engraving is simplified and emblematic, intended for clear recognition when used as a seal rather than for narrative detail. The ring follows Hellenistic influenced forms common across the Roman provinces. It was worn as a personal identifier and practical sealing tool.
