Medieval silver Knight Templar ring. The circular bezel is showing a central Templar cross in a dotted border and inscription + CIVITAS. Plain ring band.
The inscription stands for the membership in the Templar “civitas” as a fraternity i.e., the Knight as a member of the order as a community. 

The design reflects contemporary coin iconography, possibly inspired by English or Continental silver pennies of the High Middle Ages, symbolising faith, protection, and status.

Outside diameter: ± 23,2 mm
Inside diameter: ± 20,5 - 18 mm
Bezel: ± 12,9 mm
Good and solid condition, dark silver patina. Signs of wear consistent with age and use.

Certificate of Authenticity: available upon request (pdf-format).

TEMPLAR CROSS
The Templar cross, also known as the cross pattée, is one of the most iconic symbols associated with the Order of the Knights Templar. They adopted a red cross on their white robes in 1147, but there was no specific style designated, and different Templars used different versions of cross. 

The cross pattée or Templar cross, is a type of Christian cross with arms that are narrow at the centre, and often flared in a curve or straight line shape, to be broader at the perimeter.

For the Templars, wearing this cross served as a constant reminder of their sacred mission and of their vocation to imitate Christ, not only through their prayers, but also through their commitment on the battlefield.

The cross pattée became a symbol of the bravery and self-sacrifice of the Templars. It was not simply a religious emblem: it served as a mark of membership in a powerful, respected, but also feared order in the medieval world. 

To the present day Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants close to their hearts as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
