A temple of Aphrodite in Cyprus ✨

This gold finger ring top plate dates to the second century CE.

The engraving shows the famous temple of Aphrodite in ancient Paphos in Cyprus with a curious conical stone in its centre, which actually represents the goddess in non-human form.

Her sanctuary in Paphos was considered her most important sanctuary in the entire Greek and Roman world. Excavations have shown that it was in use from about 1400 BCE until the end of antiquity in the 5th century CE.

According to Greek myth, Aphrodite first stepped on land after her birth from the sea in Cyprus near Paphos and went straight to her nearby home sanctuary for her first bath and beauty treatment.

Post-Trojan War, during the Bronze Age Collapse, Diomedes helps bring down the Hittite Empire. He rescues its queen from being sacrificed in the Underworld. They are separated by an earthquake, but meet again in Paphos on Kyprios (Cyprus), where she is mistaken for Goddess Aphrodite herself.
