Description
Ca. 200 AD.A gold ring with a circular hoop and a bezel set with carnelian stone intaglio depicting an emperor, possibly Caracalla in his left profile.

However, he also granted universal citizenship to all male subjects living under the Roman Empire, greatly expanding the legal rights of vast swathes of the population.
