Title
Hockliffe 2007T357
Description
English: CURATOR'S REPORT

Description of Object

Fragment of Roman silver finger ring of 'keeled' type. Probably 3rd century in date.

Only one shoulder, part of the hoop and the bezel survive. The shoulder is decorated with incised lines which run out to the edge, and the bezel consists of an octagonal moulding. This is inscribed 'DEO TOTA'. The shoulder is inscribed 'FELIX'.

Discussion

The legend on the bezel refers to the Celtic deity Toutatis. The missing shoulder would have almost certainly have had the inscription 'VTERE', which, when combined with 'FELIX' translates as 'use (this ring) happily.' 'TOT' rings are relatively common Roman finds.
