Ca. 1-300 AD. A gold ring with a circular hoop, pairs of fine granules on the shoulders, and an oval-shaped intaglio with a 'dextrarum iunctio' ('joining together of the right hands') motif. In the fine arts, this motif is the representation of two people offering each other their right hand and is a symbol of union and marriage, perhaps indicating that this item was a Roman wedding ring.
