How Do We Get The Iron Ring??

[Arturius Britannicus]

I remember reading that the iron ring was the symbol of a Roman citizen. My question is, if an auxiliary infantryman does his 25 years, and gets his diploma, does he and his family members also get the right to wear the iron ring? If so, how does he get it--buy one,<br>
or get it issued to him with the diploma???<br>
