专家说明

For similar, cf. British Museum, inv. 1946,0702.1, and Musée de Mariemont, inv. B.357, found in a villa at Boscoreale in 1908. The latter is reproduced in J. Ward-Perkins and A. Claridge, Pompeii AD79, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1976, no. 62, with the comment that 'these armlets appeared suddenly in the First Century AD, with earrings to match, and remained very popular until the second century. At least seven examples are known from Pompeii’.
