The figure with vertical attributes and small star or cross motifs may suggest a seated deity such as Mars, Roma or Minerva, though a later devotional reading with a saint or orant figure is also possible; the identification remains unresolved. Whether the bezel was intended for sealing or purely for display cannot be determined from the piece alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy This Piece?\u003cbr\u003eCollectors will appreciate the legible figural composition on such a modest bezel, along with the quiet character of a small silver signet-form ring that has survived intact.\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":63484141666634,"sku":"R-45-S","price":480.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/angled-view-of-roman-silver-ring-solaris-highlighting-the-figure-and-vertical-el-2.jpg?v=1789038653","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/roman-silver-ring-solaris-1st-3rd-c-ce-figural-bezel","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
