The torques is widely known as the quintessential neck ring of Celtic warriors, but what is less well known is that almost all Central European peoples of antiquity knew the neck ring.
Until the Migration Period, torques were worn not only by men but also by women among the Germanic peoples. In the course of late antiquity, the choker became purely male jewellery and remained widespread in northern Europe until the Viking Age.
