Bulgarian archaeologists have found a solid golden ring with an antique Roman gem during excavation of "St.Ivan Rilski" church in the Northern city of Veliko Tarnovo.
The unique 25-gram ring has a fine craftsmanship, and is made of 23-carat gold, Darik radio reported.
On the installed gem, there is an image of what is thought to be the god Jupiter holding a buckler, and a spear.
Another golden ring, with a polished amethyst, has been found in the grave of a princess from the second half of 14th century.
