The cone is thickly granulated and the lower part of the ring is decorated with beads of granulation." These gold earrings help tell us something about poverty in the Hellenistic period. Due to the type and shape of earrings, these were most likely worn by the wealthy exclusively. These earrings could have been used to send with the owner in the after life or simply as a symbol of royalty. Wealth was not shared by all in the Roman and Greek communities, and that is shown by the differences of objects they wore compared to the wealthy. We see that these earrings are Greek, per the article we read, and we see what this symbolized in their culture.
