Blog 2 Old Roman Rings

I have decided to do my research of "jewellery from the past" would be Roman Rings. These rings were mostly worn by ancient Greek and Roman senators and citizens. Only for the wealthy and rich they conveyed status and wealth amongst nobles. Some represented military allegiance, bearing legionary eagles, chevrons, stars, and naval patterns. Some of these Ancient Greek and Roman rings had held some symbols of gods, animals, patterns and etc. But the ones that interested me were where some were engraved in inverse, and were used as signet rings to sign or seal mail or important documents. All these rings were dug up in Thrace, Macedonia, Eastern Europe, Britain, and Syria. I decided to learn this cultures old jewellery because of its vintage look and its interesting designs on some of these rings.
