=========================================
Ring with the denarius of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Copy. The period of the Roman Empire, the 3rd century AD.
Just as today, jewelry was an important part of eny culture. Jewelry reflected then as now the wealth and status of the wearer. Rings with symbols were also used to patronize and protect auras, reflected magical blows, driving away evil people and diseases, often of unconscious origin.
For example, in the Roman Republic (before 44 BC), according to the law, only citizens could wear rings. And a male citizen could only wear one ring, and that ring was made of iron. In the early empire only Patricians, (the upper class of citizens), could wear gold rings. Other citizens and freemen could wear silver or bronze. Slaves were not allowed to wear rings at all. As the empire expanded the laws and customs regarding jewelry were relaxed. Clothing was dictated by social class, and changed little for over 1000 years. Consequently jewelry and hairstyles were the dominant means of expressing a Roman's social and economic status. In the later empire some people wore rings on every finger, and even on their toes!
Accurate dating of ancient rings is more difficult than dating coins, which often can be attributed to an exact year, and sometimes even the city in which it was minted. Dating rings must take into account the shape and style, the inscription or symbols contained on it, and the environment in which it was found. For example, earlier rings are simpler in design. Earlier rings contain symbols of the ancient Roman gods. Rings of the mid to late empire may contain a simple Christian cross, or star cross. Rings of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman Empire) have more intricate devices cast into the bezel and band, and frequently contain a representation of the cross of Constantine or a Byzantine cross.

The most important symbolic meaning of the male ring is the full age of its owner, the designation of "adulthood", as well as the possession of power and certain rights in society.
