Description: | A copper-alloy split ring of probable Roman date. The exact function of these objects is uncertain, although in this case the small diameter precludes the possibility that it was a finger ring. It has been made from a copper-alloy wire of circular section which tapers to a point at both ends. This wire has been bent into a ring, the ends of which overlap. The top and bottom faces of the ring also appear to have been flattened. It measures 19.4mm in diameter by 6.7mm thick and weighs 7g. | Subjects: | Split | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
