Ring?

[witgar]

Hi !

here is another found from recent hunts...
it looks like a ring but it's iron and pretty heavy for being a ring and in fact it's not fully round as well - but it fits a finger
Any ideas?

thanks
Witgar

Now why would anybody put a ring on an ancient nipple? Gross.

ITS ROMAN AND ITS WHAT THEY CALLED A " PHU'YAL" , THE ROMAN SENATE DURRING THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE INSTRUCTED SOME SENATORS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO CAST OFF THEIR SENATE SIGNATS AND BURRY THEM IN THE HOME TOWNS OR PRAVINCIAL LOCALITIES. TO AVADE CAPTURE, MOST DID AS INSTRUCTED AND MANAGED TO AVOID THE KHIFE THE RING THAT YOU HAVE THERE IS WORTH ABOUT 2 TO 3 THOUSAND
NOW, THIS IS A PROTECTED TREASURE THAT YOU HAVE THERE, SO WHEN YOU CALL YOUR LOCAL ANTIQUITIES OFFICIAL, LET HIM/HER KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND! "PHU'YAL" IS PRONOUNCED AS FOLLOWS;
FOOL- YOU- ALL.

Is that your finial answer?

 

[BioProfessor]

I think if you whack it with a hammer, that nodule of rust will fall off and we are back to a washer of some type.
