Roman Finger Ring |

Description |
English: TREASURE CASE 2014 T197: An incomplete Roman silver finger ring dating to the second or third century AD.
Only the bezel and part of one shoulder survives. The surviving shoulder of the finger ring is lightly arched and tapers inwards towards the missing hoop - The finger ring was probably D-shaped rather than circular in outline, typical for Roman Finger rings of this period. Due to peripheral wear and damage the shape of the bezel is uncertain but appears to be rounded at the edges and has a square incised outline framing the centre. This square outline contains an incised O at the centre and has faint traces of additional incised lines around this. It is suggested that this ring is an example of the known group of 'ToT'- inscribed Roman finger rings. The inscription is regarded as an abbreviation of the Celtic god-name Toutatis/Totatis, a deity who was often conflated with the Roman god Mars (M. Henig and J. Ogden, Antiquaries Journal 67, 1987, 366-7; A. Daubney, 'The cult of Totatis: evidence for tribal identity in mid Roman Britain', in S. Worrell et al.(eds), A Decade of Discovery, British Archaeological Reports, Brit. Ser. 520 (Archaeopress, Oxford, 2010), 201 - 207). 'ToT' rings are well known in the East Midlands, especially in Lincolnshire where the majority have been found. Such rings are dated AD c.100-300. Dimensions: Dimensions: 17mm long, 10.9mm wide, c.0.7mm thick, weight: 0.8g. |
