cinzia8 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Greetings: Does anyone know if by Late Antiquity there was a betrothal ring and a wedding band or did the betrothal ring function as a wedding band as well. I know by 5th century the betrothal band was most likely gold whereas in the Republic it was iron (ick<g>). I read that in the later centuries some clergy complained of the stacking of gold rings. So, I'm not sure if it was like today with an engagement ring and a wedding band. Also, by the 5th century was it a custom for a Roman husband to wear a band?
