A beautiful example of Roman astrological symbolism, evoking the eternal passage of the Sun through the months of the year. A rare Roman bronze ring featuring a broad, flat octagonal bezel engraved with a central dot encircled by eleven smaller dots, forming a eleven-point solar design. This configuration likely symbolizes the Sun surrounded by the twelve months of the year or the twelve zodiac signs, reflecting the Roman fascination with astronomy, time, and divine cosmic order. Such motifs were associated with Sol Invictus and Mithraic solar cults, serving as both protective talismans and personal symbols of harmony and renewal. Material: Bronze (copper alloy) Date: 1st–3rd century CE Dimensions: Bezel 19 mm; ring size medium Condition: Intact; rich dark patina with light surface wear
