Bronze Seal Ring With Lighthouse of Alexandria Found on Royal Island
A bronze seal ring engraved with an image of the Lighthouse of Alexandria has been lifted from the sunken royal quarter of the city’s Eastern Harbor. Egyptian authorities say it is the first known representation of the famous Pharos ever found on a seal ring, and the small object may tell us as much about the people who ran Alexandria’s port as about the vanished wonder itself.

A Wonder Shrunk to the Size of a Ring
The announcement came from Hisham El-Leithy, Secretary-General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, during a visit by Tourism and Antiquities Minister Sherif Fathy to the underwater excavations, according to La Brújula Verde. The ring had been recovered days earlier on Antirhodos, the submerged royal island that once formed part of the Portus Magnus, Alexandria‘s great harbor. Its design closely resembles depictions known from coins minted in the second century AD, although the ministry has not given the ring a firm date.
