This pewter torc bracelet is a contemporary interpretation of the arm rings worn throughout the Roman Empire, particularly from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE. While true Iron Age torcs were often monumental neck pieces, the Romans adopted and adapted the form into smaller, personal ornaments—bracelets, armlets, and military gifts—valued for their symbolism of allegiance, rank, and cultural identity.
