The seal ring is part of the funerary equipment of a member of the Lombard high aristocracy, buried in a tomb in the necropolis of Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan). Made of gold and decorated with a burin, the ring is adorned with a bearded male face depicting the sovereign or a high dignitary of the Lombard kingdom, delegated to sign documents with a seal. The gesture of the character represented refers to the typical signal of Roman emperors and commanders when they asked for silence to speak to the army. Around the face, there is an inscription bearing the name of the owner and the e title, engraved on the reverse, Rodchis v (ir) il (lustris), that is Rodchis, illustrious man.
