SUPERB ROMAN PROSTITUTE’S RING C.100-300 AD, SIZE 3 ¼

$345.00
Gilt bronze, size 3 1/4. Ridge band, 2.2mm width with exaggerated nub at the bottom formed as a ridged rectangle and associated with the usual Roman rounded nub or thickened bottom. The shoulders with raised ridged flats identified as Guiraud type 2, sub f. The bezel of inverted conical form with the underside faceted and the top lattice scored, superficially imitating a gemstone and blatantly advertising the intentions of the wearer. Roman prostitutes were typically adolescents, largely slaves. Prostitution was practiced openly with brothels sometimes sharing doors with libraries. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity. By far, the finest of these we have seen.
