ROMAN BRONZE RING
Product Information
Flaming Cross from the Battle of the Milvian Bridge - True Christian Artefact!!!
This ring was found in Ancient Thrace at a Roman site and dates from 300 - 400 A.D. It features a 15mm round bezel which may have started it's life as a "diamond-star" ring that was later modified and now has an engraved cross with light rays around the perimeter of the outline that has a nice doubled Cross within it.. The Cross became the main symbol of the Christian Church after the Emperor Constantine made Christianity the front running religion of the Empire.
At the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine who was fighting for control of the Empire, was praying to the god of his father when he saw with his own eyes the trophy of a cross of light in the heavens, above the sun, and an inscription that said 'Conquer by This' attached to it. Seeing this, he and his army, which followed him on an expedition and witnessed the miracle, were struck with amazement.
Who knows. Perhaps it was one of Constantine's men, who had the same vision, that commissioned this ring to be engraved in such a manner. This looks closely related to other Star-Cross or Diamond-Star designs but with some added details that we usually do not see.
