Thank you for your answer. I am looking into Roman weddings too. But I think the ring was only given at the official engagement of Roman citizens. There were, to my knowledge, no rings involved at the traditional nuptia conferiatio.<br>
What's more, I discovered to my surprise that a legal Roman wedding has much to do with protecting inheretence-rights.<br>
How other rights are related to this I still have to find out.<br>
<br>
The ring of the Roman however, so the story tells us, is a sign of citizenschip and rank, as are the toga virilis and the toga praetexta. But where does this story come from?<br>
