A thick plain band ring inscribed on the outer face, +IESVS: NAZARNVS: REX: IVDEORVM. "Jesus Christ of Nazareth, King of the Jews". Such rings are often referred to as religious or magical & medicinal rings due to the fact that they were inscribed with invocations intended to produce certain effects such as protecting the wearer from harm, or healing sickness.
