Title: Roman intaglio gold ring- supposedly 1st-3rd Centry
Post by: Sy.Lon on December 22, 2024, 08:15:44 PM
Hi There,
I have won this ring at an online auction of a relatively reputable (from what I can tell) house in the UK. Some lots were highly sought-after, but the fact that I was the only bidder for this has sown the seeds of doubt and caused me to wonder about its authenticity...
I'd love to hear your thoughts, any more informed opinions than mine would help me out.

Impossible to assess from photographs. What provenance was provided? Wouldn't touch anything like this with a ten foot pole without a verifiable paper trail.
