Ca. 100-300 AD. A massive silver ring is composed of a wide hoop that expands at the shoulders to form a flat bezel, which is set with a raised, oval-shaped frame. Within the frame is a gold 'dextrarum iunctio' motif, which depicts two people offering each other their right hands. This motif is a common symbol of union and marriage in the fine arts, and suggests that the ring may have been used as a Roman wedding ring. Cf.
