This post by @archaeologymag shows a magnificent ring unearthed in Brittany, which would have been the Roman region of Gallia Lūgdūnēnsis. This precious piece is artfully engraved with the figure of Venus Victrīx (Venus Victorious), the goddess of love, beauty, victory and the patron of Roman generals. The deity was typically associated with the power of Rome. This beautifully crafted artefact would have been worn as a status symbol. The fact that it was found here demonstrates the reach of Roman influence across Europe.
