Title |
Roman finger ring |
||
Description |
English: Roman 'Brancaster type' gold finger ring. Flattened D-sectioned band expanding smoothly to two integral transverse projections which support the separate soldered, engraved rectangular bezel, leaving a transverse rectangular aperture below. The bezel is now slightly distorted at an angle to the band.
Internal diameter 13 - 15mm. External width 19mm. Height 18mm. Bezel 7 x 7mm. Weight 3.7g. 4th - early 5th century AD. The intaglio inscription, in three lines, reads (in impression) DOM/NICA/VIVA[S], translating as 'Long life to you, Domnica (or Dominica)'. The name Domnica is attested in the prosopography of the Late Roman Empire, the most notable woman to carry it being the wife of the Eastern emperor Valens (364-78). A brief biography may be found online at: <a href="http://www.luc.edu/roman-emperors/domnica.htm">http://www.luc.edu/roman-emperors/domnica.htm</a> It is an unusual name and Late in origin - a fact which accords well with the date of the ring |
