Legio XI Claudia : Legio undecima Claudia ("Claudius' Eleventh Legion") was a legion of the Imperial Roman army. XI Claudia dates back to the two legions (the other was the XIIth) recruited by Julius Caesar to invade Gallia in 58 BC, and it existed at least until the early 5th century, guarding lower Danube in Durostorum (modern Silistra, Bulgaria). The emblem of the legion is not known; it could have been, as all of the Caesar's legions, the bull, Neptune or possibly the she-wolf lactating the twins. Legio XI participated in the civil war between Octavian and Mark Antony from 32-32 BC, and ended with the Battle of Actium. Their participation in the battle was commemorated on the tombstones of soldiers from the Legion.

This exquisite antique SOLID SILVER ring from the Ancient Roman era is a must-have for any collector. The ring depicts Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, and is adorned with a beautiful intaglio design. Its historical significance as a Legionary ring from Legio XI Claudia adds to its value as a unique and original piece of history.
