There are great similarities found between Celtic and Greek torcs of this type, quite reasonably as are known to have existed all over Europe. The oldest type of torc (or torque in Latin) jewellery known is classical Greek. Torc (or torque) jewellery describes ancient jewellery that was open ended in the front (as necklaces or bracelets) and usually contained decorative ornate animal heads on either side of the opening. Famous torcs have also been found in tombs of Celtic princes. Many historians argue that they were a sign of nobility while others suggest the torc to have been a decoration awarded to warriors for their deeds in battle. Before becoming a masculine form of decoration, torc jewellery is known to have also been a feminine form of jewellery before 4 B.C.

The meaning of the ram:The ram was sacred in various entwined ancient civilisations, from as far back as the Mesopotamian civilisation (approx 3000 BC), to the Etruscan, Egyptian and Greek civilizations. Furthermore the peace-loving and quite mystical Minoans also revered it as an all important symbol of fertility.
Also, the ram was seen as the incarnation of the Egyptian god Jupiter-Ammon. When Alexander the Great conquered Egypt he visited the shrine of Ammon (or Amun). Embracing the god, upon and after his visit, he dressed himself with the skin of a ream and the horns as a head-dress. Thereafter the horns of the ram (known as the horn of ammon) were depicted much like a crown in Alexander's portraits and depictions on Alexander's coinage.
