Description: | Copper alloy Roman finger ring dating from the 2nd-3rd century. The hoop is generally D-shaped in section, narrowing at the rear. The ring thickens at the shoulders which have a slightly raised longitudinal ridge in the centre and a transverse groove on either side. The ring continues to thicken to form the bezel which is generally flat and oval in shape (L. 19.07mm. W. 12.42mm. Th. 3.91mm) with a sub-oval recess (L. 9.64mm. W. 7.67mm). The is a curved groove which mirrors the shape of the bezel on either side at the junction of the bezel with the shoulders. There is a large, deep oval recess in the centre of the bezel with a small aperture, probably the result of wear, on one side. The reverse is generally flat and undecorated. The ring is now heavily abraded and has a patchy mid-dark green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
