42,00 

The relationship between animals in Roman life and art was long and tenured. From the advent of the mythology surrounding the birth and rearing of Romulus and Remus (the two twin progenitors of the Roman Empire villainously discarded by their uncle to die, then saved by a “she-wolf”), Roman history, art and literature is peppered with animal imagery that still resonates today. The ring is deliberately aged with oxidized green patina. A perfect choice for Historians, Military Veterans, Collectors.

Description

Pieces at the Tarquina Tomb of Francesca Giustiniani are one example where a depiction of the relationship of horses in daily Roman life appear. Thought to provide good luck, Romans sometimes sacrificed horses and divided pieces of the animals between households in the hopes that either the blood, bone, tail or skin would bring a successful harvest. People who owned horses also were held at a higher status then those who did not own the animals.
