Vyne Ring to Rule Them All?

[Lalwendë]

Here's an interesting item about an old Roman gold ring which is supposed to have inspired Tolkien in his creation of the One Ring. The real Vyne Ring has an associated curse, and apparently Tolkien worked for a time as an advisor to finds at Lydney (where the Vyne Ring was found) alongside 'the great archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler'.

And here is the link to the correct page on the National Trust website.

I think this Ring must be somewhere near Mithalwen? Perhaps we should ask her to go and investigate - but not to touch it of course! We do not want a Mithalwen-wraith being our terrible Queen!
