Description: | A copper-alloy finger-ring of Roman date. This ring is classified as a Giraud Type 1c/Henig type 1 ring and dates from the 1st to 2nd century AD.
The ring is stirrup-shaped, the hoop expanding gradually towards the wide, flat bezel. Occupying the bezel is a circular cell containing two opposing rounded projections with flat surfaces. The surrounding field retains much of the original red enamel infill.
The ring survives in good condition, having little wear or corrosion. It measures 26.2mm from back to front, 24.2mm wide and 12.1mm thick (height of bezel). The weight is 6.36g. | Subjects: | Giraud Type 1c/Henig type 1 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
