They forgot to mention that it is supposedly his ring, they have no proof that it is. It first turned up in the 17th Century and the current owners claimed it was his, but with no way to prove it.



Kieran McCarthy, Wartski director, said: 'This ring is one of the prestigious 'Marlborough Gems', having previously been in the collection of the Earl of Arundel.

'It is crafted entirely of sapphire. Very few horoliths exist and I would argue this is the best example you can find.

'We believe it belonged to the debauched Emperor Caligula and the engraving shows his final wife Caesonia.
