A trinket for all?
#1
I seem to be attracting a lot of smallish Indian manufacturers' attention due to being nominally in charge of FB RAT. One of them has asked a peculiar question: what trinket could he give to any and all Roman (sorry you others) reenactors? His first idea was a small winged phallus, but I said some might not approve. So if you could have some small piece of swag, what would you want?

Though it may be out of my period impression, definitely the Roman multi tool found in the UK. But this probably won't fit the description because of its complicity.

Perhaps a small (inch or two high) cast eagle?
A simple phalera with a rat on it?
A period appearing challenge coin of sorts, with the initials of the Latin translation of "Roman Army Talk"?
A distinctive fibula?

Being on the barbaric side of things, what about a bracteate, or coin pendant, a bulla would be restrictive on age.
