Title
Roman silver TOT finger-ring
Description
English: A silver Roman 'TOT' ring, of Henig type XI. The hoop narrows in width from 9mm at the bezel to 3mm at the base. The hoop is 1mm thick and has has ten sides to it. The external diameter is 19mm. The bezel is rectangular and inscribed with the letters TOT.

Rings inscribed with the letters TOT on their bezel are distinctively Romano-British and are found especially in Lincolnshire. The letters 'TOT' are an abreviation of the Celtic god name Toutatis, who was one of the principal Celtic deities of Gaul and Britain and was often identified with the Roman god Mars.
