Two inscribed finger rings from the City of London
Martin Henig
This note is concerned with two inscribed Roman iron rings which are unusual in that the inscriptions occur on copper alloy strips inlaid into their bezels. The first, excavated from a Hadrianic context at New Fresh Wharf/St Magnus House (NFW74), bears the inscription DA MI(HI) VITA(M), ‘Give Life to me’. The second, from the Museum of London Reserve Collection (exact provenance unknown), is inscribed VITA(M) VOLO, ‘I wish for Life!’.
