Authentic 2000 yr old ring worn by an actual Roman Soldier (Tenth Legion note the "X"), I got it from an archaeologist from Australia, and after much waiting it has arrived today. An independent expert looked at photo's of it and offered me decent cash for it, but it is now my new pinky ring.
While doing a dig in the Balkans they came across a battlefield where the Roman X Legion fought many uprisings in the (then) province of Moesia. They served in Jewish uprisings in Jerusalem and were active during the lifetime of Christ, and other provinces around the empire under such rulers as Augustus and Mark Anthony.
It is a very strange feeling to wear this soldier's ring knowing were he has been. very strange.
History lesson over...
