GROUP OF BRONZE RINGS (“RING MONEY” TYPE ASSEMBLAGE)
Celtic or Italic world, 1st millennium BC.
Group of approximately ninety (90) small cast bronze rings, likely representing an accumulated assemblage rather than a finished ornament. Such rings are widely attested in European contexts of the 1st millennium BC, particularly within Celtic and related cultural spheres, where they are often interpreted as forms of proto-currency, bullion stock, or utilitarian elements intended for exchange or further manufacture.
The rings display minor variations in diameter and section, with consistent green patination and surface wear. The present group appears to reflect a collected or deposited lot, possibly stored or transported together, rather than a functional necklace or adornment.
