This may be a bit historically obscure, but the Avar hoard really was called the Ring.
The Avars were a Hunnic people,
Fond of war and plunder:
A nomad horde with bow and sword
To rend the foe asunder.
They warred for plundered treasure,
For the glittering of gold.
They'd pillage every village
For as much as they could hold.
They took it to their treasure house:
They took it to The Ring.
That hoard of gold in days of old
Could humble any king.
They fought for every scrap of it
And brought all they could bring.
For treasure was the measure
Of the glory of the Ring.
