Full Description
Gold ring set with a cabochon blue sapphire with `oak leaf' form shoulders with an inscription in Greek - translates as `long life to Olympis'. Ring is of Henig type VIII, dated C3 - early C4. Suggestions that these inscriptions acquire a Christian connotation in C4 but not exclusively so. Ring found 'in the parish of Stonham Aspal' in 1811, owned by Thomas Green of Ipswich, acquired by John Evans and donated to Ashmolean by Arthur Evans in 1933 (S1).
