The "Ring Lady" of Herculaneum was a Roman woman who died around 45 years of age near the ancient waterfront of Herculaneum during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
She was found surrounded by her gold jewellery and still wearing emerald and ruby rings on her left hand. Her jewellery was in perfect condition.
Apparently, this photo was taken just few hours after the discovery.
