Saint-Boil, no. 80-7.
Silver ring, whose kitten, now detached, was formed of a glass intaglio, held by a silver crimp ring with cut sides. The intaglio very damaged and rendered almost illegible by the iridescence of the glass, is broken in two and a triangular fragment is missing in the lower part. The upper body of a helmeted figure, the head turned to the left, the bust face, holding a spear can be noticed on the intaglio. It could be Mars or Minerva.
The shape of the ring, with broad shoulders, in the shape of a floret, allow the dating in the 3rd century AD.
