These last are frequently eunuchs, who probably belonged to a corps of eunuch laborers in the employ of the king.
Persons of the humbler laboring class wear no ornament, neither armlet, bracelet, nor earrings.

Armlets and bracelets mark high rank, and indeed are rarely found unless the wearer is either an officer of the court, or at any rate a personage of some consideration.

Earrings seem to have descended lower.

They are worn by the attendants on sportsmen, by musicians, by cavalry soldiers, and even occasionally by foot soldiers.
In this last case they are seldom more than a simple ring, which may have been of bronze or of bone.

In other cases the ring mostly supports a long pendant.
