An ancient Roman solid gold ring with a Victory Palm branch
Ancient gold Roman ring decorated with an incised palm leaf design. The design is reminiscent of the emblem of the Dobunni tribe (displayed on a gold stater). In Roman mythology, the palm branch was attributed to Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, and was a symbol of triumph and peace and protected the wearer from malign forces.
