Alexander's Ring Stolen

Oh brother!..........I just did a story on Alexander The Great and looky what happened about a month ago. I just found out. There's two articles below. They didn't say much and there was no pictures of the ring anywhere.

You know what I  fondly call my ring, The Arsinoe Ring......I  had wondered if  this ring didn't have something directly to do with Alexander. After all I was born on the date he died....June 10th. It's not what was stolen cause coming soon will be the 13th anniversary of our (re)uniting.

Strange and unusual

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Organizers of the "Antiquities Theft in Israel" exhibition could not have chosen a more fitting name for their display.

Oddly Enough

Burglars on Wednesday broke into the Ashdod Museum where hundreds of artifacts recovered from the black-market were on show and snatched several valuable items, including a silver ring belonging to Alexander the Great and gold earrings.
The Israel Antiquities Authority said the popular exhibition had been running for four years.
