| Description |
ucilla was married to Emperor Lucius Verus in
164 A.D. She was the daughter of Marcus
Aurelius and Faustina the Younger, sister to
Commodus, the future emperor. After the death
of Verus, she married an elderly man by the
name of Pompeianus. However, having once
been Augusta, wife of an emperor, Lucilla was
not satisfied leading a quiet, private life with a
man of much lower station. Later on, Lucilla was
implicated in one of the numerous plots to
overthrow her brother Commodus and was
banished to the island of Capri in 182 A.D. Soon
afterward, she was put to death.
The splendor of the precious metals is allowed to
shine in this ring. The natural hues of the silver
and gold complement each other. In this ring, the
present and the past combine. The classical form
of the modern ring enhances the timeless beauty
and majesty of the ancient coin. This ring is a
symbol of the glorious wealth and dominant
power of the Roman Empire. To wear this ring is
to reconnect with the past while continuing to
look stylish in the present.
