"The ring has a drawn rabbit that tastes a flower and that was seen as a symbol of happiness, while the "eye" represents protection against disasters and spells", Vinkovci City Museum director Hrvoje Vulic has told to local news website Cibalia.info.
Researches have started before some building works in centre of Vinkovci, the area known for Roman times area of Cibalia.

I found this ring with a metal detector and was lucky to do so as it was in the spoil which was being loaded into a truck. Probably my best single find ever!
