The bezel pivots between two small cylindrical shoulder bars, a construction typical of the Guiraud 4c family documented in the Danubian and eastern Roman provinces. A quiet, elegant survival from the mature Imperial period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eEra: Roman\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silver\u003cbr\u003eRing Size: EU 52 \/ US 6\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Untouched, with natural silver sulfide tarnish, soil residue in the intaglio grooves, and light high-point wear from ancient handling\u003cbr\u003eProvenance: From a private Belgian collection, acquired between the 1960s and 1990s\u003cbr\u003eUnique Identifier: R-32-S\u003cbr\u003eAuthenticity: Comes with certificate of authenticity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestoration and Authenticity:\u003cbr\u003eThis piece is preserved in its untouched state, showing natural aging and patina from centuries of burial and wear.

The intaglio figure, rendered with fine diagonal hatching to model the drapery folds, follows standard Roman gem-cutting conventions for personifications and deities such as Diana, Fortuna, and Nemesis. Rings of this class functioned both as personal seals and as devotional tokens, carrying the image of a chosen protectress on the hand of the wearer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy This Piece?\u003cbr\u003eAn authentic Roman silver signet ring with an intact swivel bezel and legible intaglio is an uncommon find, especially in wearable size. 'Felicitas' offers the collector a rare combination: a documented typology, an ancient Roman intaglio of a draped goddess, and a quiet original patina, all in a piece of historical jewelry that still rests comfortably on the finger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ancient-roman-rings\"\u003eRoman rings\u003c\/a\u003e from our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62790668321098,"sku":"R-32-S","price":720.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/roman-silver-swivel-bezel-signet-ring-numeria-with-intaglio-of-a-draped-female-f-1.jpg?v=1784789938","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/roman-silver-ring-numeria-2nd-3rd-century-ad-ancient-swivel-bezel-intaglio-signet-draped-figure-diana-fortuna-authentic-antique","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
