Description: | Gold wire ring, comprising two strands of bevelled wire loosely twisted together. The ends of the wire have been hammered flat to fuse them together and close the loop.
The ring bears resemblance to ear-rings of the Roman period, but would not have functioned as such. It may have been a finger-ring, but the hoop is rather narrow.
Probably of Roman date, 1st to 4th centuries AD.
Dimensions: (Ring) ext. d.: 19.9mm Int. d.: 16.0mm Wt.: 3.1g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
