ROMAN PROVINCIAL. Billon ring (15mm) inscribed with pseudo-Aramaic legend on seal. This piece belongs to a class of rings featuring incorrectly inscribed Aramaic and Greek legends frequently found in the Near East. it is unclear whether such rings represent the products of illiterate engravers or whether their nonsense inscriptions were believed to have magical properties. The central character on this ring may be Aramaic aleph but the meaning of the rest is entirely obscure.
