A new exhibition in Vienna-a Tudor palace turned into a family and a family turned into a national trust scenic spot in basingstoke-explores whether an ancient Roman ring was found in the south of England 1785, which may be a ring that dominated J.R.R Tolkien's imagination and inspired him to create The Hobbit and the Ring of God.

This complex gold ring finally appeared on a farm in Silchester, with a Latin inscription on it, which was connected with a stone tablet dedicated to the god Nodens found in the ruins of a Roman temple in Gloucestershire. The stone tablet is engraved with a curse on the thief who stole the ring.

It is believed that archaeologist Sir Morimer Wheeler discussed this cultural relic with Tolkien in 1929, and he thought that this ring was related to the stone tablet and the curse. Tolkien was an Anglo-Saxon professor at Oxford University, and Wheeler obviously sought his expertise when studying the history of jewelry and jewelry theft, especially

Tolkien, because he extensively studied the etymology of the name Nodens and visited Gloucestershire many times.

Less than ten years after this so-called meeting, The Hobbit was published, and an imaginary universe was born-it is worth noting that one of the terrible troubles was the theft of a gold ring with a mysterious inscription.

Coincidentally, the National Trust and Tolkien Association encourage you to visit Wayne and make your own decisions.

There, they cooperated to create the ring room, which is a special part of this historic manor. This charming ornament will be displayed to the public from this week.

Wayne is a very short train trip outside London, and this exhibition sounds like a must-see for Tolkien fans. If you have children (or you think you are a big child like me), it is suggested that "brave explorers can hunt around the mansion, solve riddles and puzzles and look for dwarfs." The exhibition also includes souvenirs from Tolkien's own archives, including a book signed by the author himself, resources for children and "dressing up" (they must have some amazing fake beards-they must do so). You can also try to write down your own curse to win prizes.

Wayne Tea Room even incorporated the exhibition spirit into Tolkien menu. At the risk of sounding surprisingly un-Americanized (though it's not the first time or the last time), I bet anything they offer is smarter and more appetizing than Danny's "Make Your own Hobbit Grand Slam" in the United States last year. I crossed my fingers looking for some lonely mountain jam.
