Ancient Roman Archers' Rings
Roman archers needed to protect their hands from the power of their own longbows during battle, and wore these rings on their bow-thumb, to protect it when drawing the bowstring. The bow was drawn by hooking the thumb around the string just under the arrow, and bracing it against the first finger. The ring would protect the thumb and the bowstring would zip right across it upon release. These specimens were recovered from a Roman battlefield in Thrace, near the Black Sea.
