## Caption

If you’ve ever given a lover a little token of your affection, you’re not alone—the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans did it too. 

They would gift brooches, cameos, and golden rings with romantic inscriptions or allusive drawings on the inside. These love offerings were popular gifts among the ancient elite as proof of their love to their beloved.
