Description
DATE: Roman, 2nd Century AD
"UTERE FELICITER" - Use This Happily. This signet ring is, remarkably, around 1800 years old. A rare example of Latin script actually written (well, engraved) by a Roman. It's crafted in silver with the most beautiful patina, and should be worn in happiness - apparently. The sentiment is sort of an anti-Memento Mori, Memento Vivere, with a bit of material gratification mixed in for good measure. Very charming indeed.
