The listing, NEW in Package Decorative Roman (reproduction) Gold Plated Bangle Bracelet Westair Co. has ended.
Up for bid is a Roman bangle produced by the Westair Co. Made in Britain.
Westair Reproductions Ltd., and its associated companies, has grown into the leading company supplying historical reproductions to Historic Houses, Castles and Museums not only in the UK but also to over 36 other countries around the world.
According to their home site, this is gold plated. However, I have no way to guarantee that, since it is a sealed item. You can check the link to the Westair company site:

Torcs were worn around the neck, the upper arm or the wrist during Roman times. This torc is the equivalent of our modern bangle.
The image on the front of the enclosed card is of Ceres (Summer), part of the Four Seasons mosaic from the 1st century pavement found in the remains of a Roman town house in Dyer Street, Cirencester in 1849. Ceres is wreathed with corn and flowers and equipped with a sickle and a bunch of corn-ears.
This bangle seems small, measuring 2-1/8" across, and may be meant for a child. Or it may be adjustable. I don't know since it is packaged. But please be aware of this fact.
