Real gold Rare Roman soldiers cameos

Men's Antique Estate Circa 1900 - 1920 Engraved Bezel 10K Gold Double face While signet rings were first worn by highly decorated warriors as signs of victory, the Romans later allowed others to wear them as a sign of wealth and status. Freed men were permitted to wear silver rings, but sometimes wore blackened gold so they had the feel of gold without breaking the law. This red clay was named hematite, from the Latin word haima (blood). Mixed into the soil, Hematite appears blood red.
