The silver ring's carved gemstone is a dark orange-red colour and "is probably a carnelian", experts said in their report to the Essex Coroner.

In Case you have missed it, there is a BBC series called Detectorist.

It can be streamed on Acorn. The Dectorists are basically constant losers who vainly search the Essex fields with their various super metal detectors. They find poptops and nails ant other such but the longed for gold treasure just never seems to turn up

"The series is set in the fictional small town of Danebury in north Essex. The plot revolves around the lives, loves and metal-detecting ambitions of Andy and Lance, members of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club. The main filming location for the series and is Framlingham, a small market town in Suffolk."

"It's also really interesting because it's evidence of a pagan religion that has its roots in Ancient Greece being worshipped by Romano-British society."

I do not see why this is interesting or surprising.

Rome needed a state religion to bind their civilization together.

They did not have one. They had a household religion, every house had their gods and the patriarch and matriarch were their priests. This did not lend it's self to elaborate public ceremonies and a priestly class that could be controlled by the state.

Greece had a fully developed state religion and it was just sitting there so the Romans grabbed it and ran off with it. The other major religion in the area at the time would have been the Phoenician. Let us be glad they did not pick that one.

After giving it a dye job and hair cut they now had their state religion. Which they took everywhere.

It would be like being surprised to find bath houses.
