Delta dedicates a bold new line of special writing instruments to the legal profession and its practitioners - LEX. Translated from Latin as "the law", LEX is a tribute to the period of the introduction of written law in ancient Rome. The distinctive look of the white limited edition series is achieved through the use of enamel coated Casein, a material first discovered in 1897. The vertical lines evoke the roman columns often associated with traditional courthouses and offset the hand-turned black rings perfectly. Metal trims are plated with precious rhodium while the scales of justice symbol in black enamel is positioned elegantly on the top of the clip. The collection is limited to 754 pieces of each mode. The number signifies the period when Roman Law was created; that is from 754 BC, the year of the legendary founding of Rome, to the death of Justinian in the 6th century AD.
