		Augustus is known to have commissioned a portrait gem of himself from the notable Greek artisan Dioscurides, and presumably his ring was passed down to his heirs and used for official business much as Augustus had done.
		In the early imperial period, it became popular to wear rings with a portrait of the current emperor, although this practice continued only up to the second century A.D.
