The image depicts a Roman signet ring believed to be associated with Carausius, a Roman military commander who declared himself emperor of Britain and Northern Gaul between 286 and 293 AD. This particular ring is a typical Roman ring used to seal documents and symbolize authority or rank. The face of the ring bears a worn or obscure engraving, perhaps depicting a bust or an emblem, reflecting the personal insignia of the wearer. Such rings were often used to authenticate official correspondence or as a status symbol among the elite in Roman society. Given Carausius' position as a self-proclaimed emperor, such a ring would have served as a powerful symbol of his rule during his short reign in Britain.
