Item Details
Description
Gilt bronze, size 4 3/4 for wear on the small finger, as was the custom. Deeply rounded face band, 2.2mm width. Conical bezel with notched base, probably an anatomical reference, and blatantly advertising the intentions of the wearer. Roman prostitutes were typically adolescents, largely slaves. Prostitution was practiced openly with brothels sometimes sharing doors with libraries. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
