WMID-63F643: Roman: 'Totatis' finger ring |
||
Description |
English: Roman silver 'TOT' ring from Hallaton, Leicestershire
A complete silver finger-ring of Henig type XI. Sub-circular in profile with a hoop that expands gently towards the bezel. The band is broad and flat with a sub-rectangular section. Two grooves, slightly inset from each edge, run the circumference of the ring. The bezel is accentuated on each side by two impressed mouldings and the space between is roughly inscribed with a scratchy free hand. The inscription reads 'IOI'. The ring is in good condition with very little sign of wear. The inscription is likely to be a variant of the more common 'TOT', which is known from several Romano-British finger rings and believed to refer to the Romano-Celtic deity Toutatis (Totatis). Rings inscribed in this way are particularly common in the East Midlands. It is possible that the horizontal lines at each end of the vertical axis seen in this case was intended so that 'TOT' would be read whichever way up it was held. A similar device is seen on another silver ring also from Leicestershire (PAS: LEIC-2B87D2). Date: 2nd-3rd century AD Dimensions: diameter 20.78mm; height 19.52; width of bezel 9.67mm; thickness 2.31mm Weight: 6.78g |
