These were then mixed with modern plaques in the Etruscan style, and made into bracelets in the second half of the 19th century; perhaps made up for the Marchese Campana, before the Castellani family saw his collection.\r\n\r\nThe Castellain copies do not reproduce the originals exactly but are inspired by the so called \"ancient\" models.
