Torques, or gold and bronze necklaces composed of flexible bars, were peculiar to the people of this country.” (p. 22) It is not clear whether the image depicts an ancient Briton, or Celt, wearing his torque, and captured by the Romans perhaps to be sold into slavery, or whether the torque was placed by a Briton onto a captured Roman.
