About bronze & your skin

Bronze is a living metal. It can leave a green or dark mark on your skin through a natural process called oxidation. This is the same reaction that turned the Statue of Liberty green over time.

This is completely normal, harmless, and washes off easily with soap and water.

The clear nail polish trick: Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish to the inside of your ring. This creates an invisible barrier between the bronze and your skin. Reapply every few weeks as it wears off.

Legio IIII Macedonica, also known as the Fourth Macedonian Legion, was renowned throughout the Roman Empire for its exceptional valor and unwavering loyalty to the Roman state.

One of its most defining moments occurred during the Year of the Four Emperors, a period of civil war and political strife. In the midst of chaos and shifting allegiances, the legion found itself in a precarious situation.

Led by their steadfast commander, Lucius Vettius, Legio IIII Macedonica faced a challenging decision. They needed to choose a side in the conflict between the four rival claimants to the imperial throne. With their reputation for steadfastness at stake, the legion made an extraordinary choice: they would remain loyal to the Roman Empire itself, rather than any individual claimant.

This decision earned them the enduring respect of the Roman people and leaders alike. Eventually, their loyalty played a crucial role in the rise of Vespasian to the imperial throne, helping restore stability to the empire. Legio IIII Macedonica's unwavering commitment to Rome, even in the face of political turmoil, became a testament to the enduring principles of duty and honor that defined the Roman legions.
