The ancient Romans accessorized themselves according to age, gender, and social standing. Women generally amassed more jewelry than men, wearing earrings, necklaces, rings, fibulae, and bracelets. The reason jewelry was so important to women was that it was one of the few possessions considered to be their own property, maintained independently of their husband's wealth and symbolizing their wealth and elite status. The woman who wore these bracelets was clearly of the utmost social standing.
This pair sold for $30,000 at Christie's New York on December 13, 2013, Lot 320.
