                Search "roman rings" on ebay and you can see most sell for under $200. The only ones that sell for over $1000 are very unique and one of a kind. Your X ring appears to be more common and sells for about $30-$75. Your seller got market value for the ring. There is no way you could resell that ring for $2800. Impossible. MOST collectors are not that stupid. You tell a tall tale my friend. I wouldn't have said anything but your lie about the offer price was so outrageous I just a had to comment. Just more GFY bullshit.

                  I've been around long enough and my reputation is such that my word is enough. Think what you want if that makes you happy. Fret none my child some day you too will find luck.

                    And what the fuck would i gain by telling that i found a needle in a haystack...it seems like an ordinary ring as i said in my own words (a dime a dozen), but the marking which to the untrained or uninterested eye may seem like decore of a common item are actually a clue to a story much more interesting. I have nothing to gain here by saying anything...at $30 or $2000 it's a 2000 year old roman soldiers ring and I am proud to wear it even if it were worth $1.

                      I really don't know what you have to gain. Some people are just born liars who lie to get attention. Mommy did not give raybaby enough attention as a child? Anyways enjoy your cheap ass ring.

                        all that matters is that its cool to you. all history including roman history is pretty cool to learn about with the exception of american history it's so boring and short. if nothing else you can enjoy it and tell a cool story or at least put an x on a ho's head for getting out of pocket.

                                      Sweet, make sure you switch on the power converter to optimize the temporal effects, going back that far creates loss of photonic energy within the cerebrum. I wouldn't want you to be a vegatable in 1 AD.
