Bronze Roman Ring with Triple "SIGNUM" Battle Standard Motif.   This ring authentic ancient roman ring was found at a Roman site in Ancient Moesia and dates from around 300 A.D.

It features a flat, 20mm x 16mm oval bezel with some SUPERIOR engravings on it as well as an interesting lip decoration running along the bezels edge.. Depicted on the bezel, are a trio of Legion Battle Standards. This type is related to the "Vexillium" and has a pendant flag, this type also always had disks or circlets upon it.

There is some debate as to which part of a legion these represented but there are some theories that these represented a particular Cohort within a Legion. You see a LOT of these on the reverse side of many Roman coins that had a Legionary significance. This is probably the most detailed example of this ring type that I have seen in quite some time.

This is a well made ring with splendid decorations all the way around. Even the recessed rim has nice linear engravings on it. On one of the pictures you will see a "shovel nick" that this ring took from the diggers spade. The band remains intact and still surprisingly strong
