Description: | A copper alloy Roman bracelet which is 38.6mm long, 33.7mm wide and 5.8mm thick. A terminal survives at one end, but the other end is an old break, so the original size of the bracelet is unknown. The terminal is slightly wider than the rest of the band and has a central circular hole. This was probably part of the hook and catch fastening. The terminal is decorated with incised lines in a lozenge pattern. Next there are six grooves across the band, then twelve diagonally, before five across again. Next is a raised lozenge with a ring and dot in the centre, then 8 transverse grooves, the lozenge motif is repeated and then there are two transverse grooves. A long panel follows. It has a incised border and contains 13 ring and dots which are all closer to one edge rather than central. The lozenge motif is repeated, then two transverse lines, and an area with 6 longitudinal grooves which are interrupted by the break. The inner surface is not decorated. The bracelet has a dark green patina. It probably dates from the Late Roman period (Worrall 2003). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
