I am Antonius. They knew me as a Roman general, one of the most powerful men of the ancient world. But in Alexandria, I took off my armour for my love. We called ourselves the Inimitable Livers — Cleopatra and I, and those who knew how to live without apology.
We wandered the streets in disguise, gathered around the coiled serpent of the Mehen, and chose pleasure as deliberately as we chose power.
Antonius's memory returns as two objects worn together — the garnet of his devotion and the Mehen ring. One holds his love. The other, a record of the life two sovereign people built between battles.
Handmade in 925 sterling silver, plated with 18kt gold, and set with natural garnet.
