介绍（中）	颈环，比如这个引人注目的金色例子，在早期的资料中被引用为在颂扬军事英雄和加冕仪式中发挥了作用。这条胸脯项链由一个普通的中空颈环组成，颈环连接在一个框架上，框架上有一个大的中央奖章，两侧是硬币和两个小的装饰盘。尽管胸章是在埃及发现的，但据信是在君士坦丁堡制造的，因为中央奖章的背面描绘了该城市的化身。奖章的正面和较小的硬币描绘了拜占庭皇帝。胸脯下边缘的两个罗纹环曾经是皇帝狄奥多西一世的大型奖章。这幅帝国图像表明，胸脯是由一系列军事奖杯组成的，这些奖杯曾经属于一位杰出的将军或宫廷成员。
介绍（英）	Neck rings, such as this imposing gold example, are cited in early sources as playing a role both in the glorification of military heroes and in coronation ceremonies. This pectoral necklace is composed of a plain, hollow neck ring attached to a frame set with a large central medallion flanked by coins and two small decorative disks. Although it was found in Egypt, the pectoral is believed to have been made in Constantinople, since a personification of that city is depicted on the reverse of the central medallion. The front of the medallion and the smaller coins depict Byzantine emperors. The two ribbed rings at the pectoral's lower edge once held a large medallion of the emperor Theodosius I. This imperial imagery suggests that the pectoral is composed of a collection of military trophies that once belonged to a distinguished general or a member of the imperial court.
