Not mentioned in the video: Roman citizens (males) were given the right to wear an iron ring of citizenship. Different classes (equestrian, senatorial, etc) might have a specific design on them but it was still pretty basic. Two issues were that the ring was not required to be worn so not everyone did, and of course one could be stolen or counterfeited so you couldn’t take it as reliable proof of anything.

But it’s at least somewhat related to the topic.
