Here is an authentic bronze ring of Roman or Byzantine design and origin. It was found by a metal detector in an ancient Viking settlement along the Baltic ... moreSea in Latvia. Possibly a trade item brought back from viking travels. The ring is a size 9. This bronze ring clearly shows the copper structure with a layer of tin above and finally the mixture of bronze(tin and copper alloy) When one wears ancient bronze rings or bracelets. The natural chemistry of the skin brings out a wonderful lustre to the artefact. Bronze needs to be worn to glow. I have a passion for ancient Viking-era artefacts. I can imagine the Viking who brought this ring back f r om southern travels. I love Baltic amber. Ancient bronze artefacts, and I have far more than I can wear in my collection; watch for more necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets.

Manouēl I Komnēnos. November 28, 1118– September 24. 1180) was a Byzantine Emperor of the 12th century who reigned over a crucial turning point in the history of Byzantium and the Mediterranean. Eager to restore his empire to its past glories as the superpower of the Mediterranean world. Manuel pursued an energetic and ambitious foreign policy. In the process he made alliances with the Pope and the resurgent west. Invaded Italy. Successfully handled the passage of the dangerous Second Crusade through his empire. And established a Byzantine protectorate over the Crusader kingdoms of Outremer. Facing Muslim advances in the Holy Land. He made common cause with the Kingdom of Jerusalem and participated in a combined invasion of Fatimid Egypt. Manuel reshaped the political maps of the Balkans and the east Mediterranean. Placing the kingdoms of Hungary and Outremer under Byzantine hegemony and campaigning aggressively against his neighbours both in the west and in the east. However. Towards the end of his reign Manuel's achievements in the east were compromised by a serious defeat at Myriokephalon. Which in large part resulted from his arrogance in attacking a well-defended Seljuk position. Called ho Megas( Greek: ὁ Μέγας. Translated as" the Great" by the Greeks. Manuel is known to have inspired intense loyalty in those who served him. He also appears as the hero of a history written by his secretary, John Kinnamos,

TRANSLATE Arabic Chinese French German Greek Indonesian Italian Hindi Japanese Korean Swedish Portuguese Russian Spanish Size 7 1/4 Genuine Ancient Engraved ... moreRoman/Byzantine/Macedonian Silver Ring Twelfth Century A.D. with Stylized Abstract Design. CLASSIFICATION: Ancient Byzantine Macedonia Engraved Silver Ring. ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire(Constantinople) Twelfth Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Fits ring size 7 1/4(U.S. Diameter: 19mm x 18 1/2mm(outer dimensions) 18mm x 17mm(inner diameter) Bezel: 12mm(height) 12mm(breadth) Fixed Width 2 1/2mm Band. Weight: 2.20 grams. CONDITION: Very Good! Completely intact. Moderately light wear evidenced consistent with ancient usage. Very faint porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A very well preserved silver ring circa 9th or 10th century A.D. As you can see. The ring is very handsome and elegant in design. The"bezel" or face of the ring bears a very distinct abstract design, however though we’ve scrutinized the engraved design carefully, we’re unable to determine what it represents. Some believe it to be the abstract representation of a shaman’s face. However it seems most likely to be the abstract representation of two stags with antlers locked in combat. Given the cultural popularity of such depictions in the region during the ancient and medieval world, this seems most likely. This is a fairly light weight ring, more like a contemporary ring than the thick and lumpy rings often produced during the early years of the Roman Empire. It is a very handsome and complex design, and probably was a very significant personal possession of whomsoever originally owned the ring. There are unmistakable indications that the ring was worn fairly often by whomsoever the ancient owner was. But the ring is in no way“worn out” Before expressing dismay over the fact that the ring evidences some wear, you must keep in mind that the ring was produced by an artisan and sold to a patron or consumer wit
