Description

The iron ring, only partially preserved, bears a roughly cut cameo depicting the sun god Sol Invictus. The god travels to the left in a two-wheeled chariot drawn by four galloping horses. The left hand is raised in a gesture of blessing, the right holds the reins. The whip is visible on the god's back.

The motif can often be found on ring gems from the 2nd century onwards. It identifies the wearer of the ring as a follower of the Sol cult, which became increasingly widespread during this time.
