Late Roman/Early Byzantine Bronze Signet Ring – 4th-6th century AD A Late Roman/Early Byzantine bronze signet ring featuring a circular bezel engraved with a distinctive geometric design, dating to the Roman Imperial period (approximately 4th-6th century AD). The ring features a solid, broad, smoothly curved band that widens towards the raised circular bezel, measuring 11 mm in diameter.
