guy Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Cornwall, in southwestern England, has proven to have a greater Roman presence than previously thought. This beautiful intaglio ring from the First or Second Century AD was found by a metal detectorist in his own front yard. Currently, the theory is that the ring that emerged from Mike’s front garden flower bed is a Roman intaglio ring, crafted from gold and weighing 12.8 grams, with Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, justice, peace, and motherhood, engraved into a chalcedony gemstone. https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2022-01-16/the-cornwall-man-who-discovered-ancient-gold-in-his-front-garden This style of ring is similar to the “Good Shepherd” ring found recently in Caesarea: Edited October 29, 2025 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
