A rare gold ring once worn by the wife of an elite Roman soldier has been named in honour of the late daughter of one of the Cumbrian men who found it.

They should have placed it anonymously for auction at Sotheby's with no mention of its source or history. Showing it to the authorities was dumb, dumb, dumb.

WOW! Nice.
I’ve thought about buying a Roman legionnaire’s ring. There were tons of them made from copper and bronze and other such nonprecious metals. They aren’t very expensive....but it’d be really cool to own/wear something that was over 2000 years old.

So, that’s where I lost my ring.

That’s where I left it! It’s been driving me crazy all these centuries. You’d think losing something that you cherish gets easier over time, but it doesn’t.
