description

The purpose of this note is to make known a fragmentary inscribed silver ring. The object, which was acquired on the UK antiquities market and is now in a private collection in Spain, now consists of only the bezel, the hoop having broken off. This bezel, in the form of a shallow lens with roughly circular base, is engraved directly on the convex face (intaglio) with two lines of text in Greek above a floral motif.
