    Pardon the newbie question but I'm curious -- what identifies it as "ancient Roman"?

    The dealer who sold me mine told me it had a Bulgarian provenance.

    Awesome find!! I hope it fits. :)

    I've lately taken to wearing a Roman silver ring with niello decoration on it (the black triangles). I'm not really a jewelry kinda guy, but it's hard to resist this wearable connection to 2nd or 3rd century Rome...

    @Severus Alexander, I totally agree with you. I don’t have a Roman ring, but if did I wouldn’t hesitate wearing it.

    Almost 35 years ago I bought my wife a pendant with Roman glass when we were in Israel. I LOVE that piece (more than my wife does) because of the history.

    My appreciation of “those who came before” is probably what is responsible for a veering lately toward ancient and medieval coinage.
