Ca. 100-200 AD. A simple yet elegant gold finger ring of a circular, slender hoop expanding to a flat bezel engraved with a palm branch oriented horizontally. Each offshoot of the branch terminates in a rounded finial. In Roman mythology, the palm branch was attributed to Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, and was a symbol of triumph and peace.
