A LOVER'S GIFT? A fine gold bracelet discovered just outside Pompeii on the arm of a female victim (aged about thirty) of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 provides perhaps an inkling of such affection, with its inscribed message, ‘The master to his very own slave-girl’ (dom(i)nus ancillae suae). The inscribed bracelet is made of gold. It is in the shape of a snake, recognizable from its carved tail and head, with inlaid glass paste eyes. Golds of Moregine | Pompeii Commitment
