What is arm ringe?

Arm rings, also known as armlets or torcs, are circular metal bands worn around the upper arm. They were commonly worn by various cultures throughout history, including the ancient Greeks, Romans, Celts, Vikings, and Native Americans.

In many cultures, arm rings were a symbol of wealth and status, worn by warriors and leaders as a sign of their power and prestige. They were often decorated with intricate patterns and designs, and made from precious materials such as gold, silver, or bronze.

Arm rings were also sometimes used as currency or traded as goods, particularly among the Vikings and other Germanic tribes. In addition to their practical and symbolic uses, arm rings could also serve as amulets or talismans, believed to offer protection and good luck to the wearer.

Today, arm rings continue to be worn by some subcultures, such as modern Pagan and Nordic groups, as a way of connecting with their cultural heritage and expressing their identity.
