[QUOTE="BMRT, post: 646489, member: 10892"]Hello everyone, I won a bid for a ring and now it’s arrived. I’m excited to have it but I’m not really sure what I have. It’s described as a “Byzantine” ring. It may be bronze but it’s almost completely encased in patina. It looks like it was in the ground for a good while before it was found and sold.
