Moregine bracelet

In November 2000, an archaeological excavation at Moregine/Murecine, to the south of Pompeii, discovered the body of a woman with several pieces of gold jewellery, including a gold bracelet in the shape of a snake. The bracelet, inscribed "dom(i)nus ancillae suae" ("the master to his slave girl"), has been interpreted variously as a gift to a domestic slave, a slave prostitute, or a free woman from her lover.

At the Murecine/Moregine site was a large Roman hotel or hospitium.^[1] The Murecine Silver Treasure and the Tablets (providing a unique record of business transactions) were also discovered there.^[2]^[3]
