Two Horses

Two Horses Ring – Horses were vital to daily Roman life, as a means of transport and a source of power. They also had particular cultural and financial value. Ownership of a horse signified your prestige and wealth. To ably train and ride a horse demonstrated your courage, self-control, and mastery of the wild.

In the Roman world, there were three classes of horses: Noble horses – for riding, for the circus, and for sacred games. Mules – valued as highly as the noble horse and the best were bred in Italy. Common stock – used as working animals.
