3rd-4th century AD. A mixed group of ring bezels set with intaglios, motifs including dolphins, eagle between standards, profile bust, nimbate figure in orans pose, and an inscription in two lines in Greek reciting '?A?? ????'. See Humer, F., Kremer, G., Pollhammer, E., Pülz, A., AD 313 Von Carnuntum zum Christentum, Bad Voslau, 2014, pp.233-34, no.614, for the type. 17.2 grams total, 10-21mm (1/4 - 1"). Property of a gentleman from Vienna; from his private collection formed since 1970. The expression '?A?? ????' (A good soul) was associated with the early Christian church, although it may already have been in use by non-Christians as a reminder of correct behaviour and caution against hubris.
