The Roman Gold 4th Legion Flavia Felix Ring, a true masterpiece from the 1st-2nd Century AD, boasts a magnificent broad openwork gold hoop that sets it apart with beaded wire borders delicately intertwining filigree loops to form a perfect encapsulation. Within these masterful filigree loops cast letters ‘LEGIIIIFF’ appear as intricate D-section shapes encasing the legion's proud name, Legio IIII Flavia Felix. This extraordinary testament was once worn by a warrior who belonged to the legendary Legio Quarta Flavia Felix (literally "Lucky Fourth Legion of Flavia"), established by Vespasian in 70 AD when he revitalized this ancient force with elements from the disbanded Legio IV Macedonica after the calamitous Batavian revolt. This legion thrived until its untimely departure in early times of the 5th century while their distinctive emblem proudly proclaimed itself as that fearsome creature - a lion, radiating fear on battlefields across Moesia Superior for over three centuries until this powerful unit gradually lost significance due to continuous changes brought forth in an increasingly expanding empire under relentless assault by invading forces from various frontiers. Its Size is substantial at 62; hence, no small feat it took its maker's hands skillfully fashion a masterpiece capable of making this very rich alloy which, with every detail finely attuned to craft gold beyond comparison of all its qualities combined for what truly makes true splendor visible in sight so magnificently well cast by a single act and precision.
