Peter Reynaers

An Ancient Roman ring of thin bands of gold woven into a solid, continuous braid like chain pattern. There are two layers of woven gold chain as concentric circles, forming a square chain pattern. 

The ancient Romans considered jewellery to be an essential accessory, for it provided a public display of their wealth. Roman jewellery at first followed trends set by the Etruscans, using gold and glass beads. However, as the power and spread of the Roman Empire increased, jewellery designs became increasingly elaborate. Different cultural styles from Greece, Egypt, North Africa, and the Orient were all incorporated to reflect Rome’s prosperity as a dominant, conquering city. The custom of wearing rings was probably introduced by the Sabines, who are described in early legends as wearing gold rings with precious stones. During the Roman Republic it became customary for all the senators, chief magistrates, and eventually the equites, to wear gold rings.

Measurements: Internal diameter of 2.3 cm. 1.9 g in weight
