Roman For Your Choice Stirrup Ring
The symbol of clasped hands is ancient. This ring, dating from around the year 400, bears Latin words that translate to "For Your Choice," suggesting it was a token of friendship or loyalty. Offering someone your hand to grasp shows there's no weapon, reinforcing the handshake as a friendly greeting throughout history.
