been an Ambassador, could wear one
except on state occasions. Gradually
the ring came to be the badge OF
k%nighthood, and finally all restric-
tions as to it's being worn were cast
aside and the ring was adopted gener-
ally as an ornament. The Roman
"'rdes" finally became SO enamoured
OF their rings that they put one on
