Experts praise rare Roman gold ring found by hobbyist

A hobbyist using metal detectors discovered a gold ring dating back to the Roman era in Somerset County, southwestern England, in 2018. The ring weighs 48 grams and is distinguished by its precise craftsmanship and a gemstone featuring an engraving of the goddess Victory driving a chariot. It is believed to have belonged to a wealthy individual from the local administration or a landowner, and was buried shortly after it was used. The find was part of a hoard that included coins and pottery shards. The institution acquired the ring and coins and arranged for the museum to display them, along with a statement linking the discovery to a period of unrest during the Roman era, when the region was a hub of commercial activity.
