A treasure hunter has unearthed a valuable silver ring that provides new evidence for the spread of early Christianity in Britain before St Augustine arrived on an official mission in 597AD.
The ring, found by an anonymous treasure hunter in Swaffham, Norfolk, is inscribed with words commonly found on converts’ rings.
Experts have dated the ring between 312 and 410AD, long before Augustine’s official mission to convert the Britons in 597AD.
The ring, that was found using a metal detector to hunt for precious artefacts, adds further weight to an increasing body of evidence that more Christians existed in Roman Britain than has been traditionally thought.
It bears a Latin inscription saying ‘Antonius, may you live in God’, a phrase commonly found on the rings of Roman converts.
The finder, who has not been identified, stumbled upon the ring with his metal detector near Swaffham, Norfolk in February.
Only the top disc remains of the signet ring, which was declared treasure by an inquest in King’s Lynn on yesterday on 19 August.
Finds officer Adrian Marsden, at Norwich Castle Museum, said: ‘The disc that would have been set into the bezel from a signet ring constitutes important evidence for Christianity in late Roman Norfolk.
