Ancient Roman bronze Gladiators ring with a large depiction of Sol Invictus (the Roman sun god) on the octagonal shield shaped Bezel, for protection in the arena and kill marks etched by the gladiator on the side of the band to commemorate each kill
. 
The diamond shaped image surrounding Sol Invictus, represents the arena. 
Just outside of the arena, there are a series of lines surrounding the arena which represent palm leaves. Palm leaves and olive branches were symbols commonly used to represent brotherhood between Gladiators and Soldiers. 
 
Gladiators would traditionally place their kill marks on one of three places on the ring. Downward markings on the band, 
 
such as the markings on this ring,
 
 lines across the width of the band, the top of the bezel, and the third place was beneath the bezel. Gladiator rings of this high grade and preservation, and with kill marks, are becoming very difficult to obtain. 

In ancient times since banks did not exist, Soldiers would bury their coins and jewelry before going into battle, and many of them did not return. They were also buried to avoid tax collectors and thieves. In ancient times, a ring distinguished an individual in a way that other forms of jewelry did not. Finger rings represented the language of social code, and connoted one's social standing. Under the Empire, the finger ring was still considered a privilege, conferred for military distinction. As time wore on and attitudes changed, the ring was more freely bestowed. Even so, the ring retained its position as a mark of dignity, as a rich ornament, as an important seal, and as a token of betrothal. Special caskets were created for holding rings, and it was customary to remove a ring from the casket, to place on the finger of a visiting guest welcomed into one's home.
