-> Bronze rings were among the most common forms of personal adornment in the Roman world, worn by men and women alike. Simpler examples served as everyday jewellery, while engraved bezels could also function as personal seals, marks of identity, or protective devices.

Rings with engraved devices or monogram-like motifs often carried a practical as well as symbolic role. Even when not used formally as signets, such bezels gave the object an individual character and may have reflected personal taste, status, or amuletic meaning.
