Archaeologists believe the ring may shed light on a previously unknown royal lineage linked to European dynasties in the early Middle Ages.

An extremely rare, 1,500-year-old Merovingian gold ring made of 22-karat gold was discovered using a metal detector in southwest Jutland, Denmark. It was reported by Arkeonews.

The ring dates back to 500-600 AD and was set in red semi-precious stones, which symbolized power among the Germans.

The gold ring probably indicates the existence of a princely family closely related to the Merovingian rulers – the royal family that ruled the Frankish Empire.

For German people, almandine garnet is a symbol of power.

The design of the gold ring, with four spirals at the bottom and trefoils where the ring joins the band, shows the highest quality of Frankish craftsmanship, indicating the elite of its owner.

“The Golden Ring not only reveals information about a likely new princely family in Emmerlöw, but also links the area to one of the largest centers of power in Iron Age Europe. The Golden Ring probably belonged to a woman, particularly the daughter of a prince , who is also married to the prince ” says Kirstin Pommergaard, curator at the National Museum of Denmark.

Other objects were also found at the same site, including two gold and seven silver coins, as well as Phrygian pottery.

It was previously reported that Polish archaeologists discovered a medieval decoration in the shape of a dove with a Latin inscription: “AMOR VINCIT OMNIA” – “Love conquers all.”

In Greece, archaeologists excavated the Temple of Artemis
