Romersk antikk Sølv Ring med to forhøyede rammer
A unique late Roman silver ring with two raised rectangular bezels, with each engraved with two different anthropomorphic figures, possibly two tropaeum. The circular band of this ring is decorated by several peaks and troughs, creating an overall wave-like pattern. The silver is tarnished and there are some surface marks consistent with its age.
The ancient Romans considered jewellery to be an essential accessory, for it provided a public display of their wealth. Roman jewellery at first followed trends set by the Etruscans, using gold and glass beads, but as the power and spread of the Roman Empire increased, so too did jewellery designs became increasingly elaborate. Different cultural styles from Greece, Egypt, North Africa, and the Orient were all incorporated to reflect Rome’s prosperity as a dominant, conquering city. The wide range of natural resources enabled artisans to create ostentatious jewellery using a diverse selection of materials.
