Some of the wedding riogs found near Pompeii have upon them allegorical cameos, beautifully cut, and generally portraying the lores of the gods- Others have a single stone or a raised word of affection. The emblem of fidelity, two hands clasped, is also seen on a ring supposed to belong to the wife of some plebeian. This ring must be something like an ancient English wedding-ring, which shows, in Koman gold, two hands clasped prer a heart, and, inside, the inscription, "Mine own dear lore this heart is thinp."
