Description: | An incomplete Roman copper-alloy finger ring. Only the shoulders and the bezel of this finger ring survive, the hoop and the setting have been lost due to old breaks, the surviving length is 14mm. The shoulders taper towards the bezel which is oval in shape, measuring 10mm in length and 8mm in width, it is now hollow with a depth of c3mm. The long sides of this bezel are decorated with two vertical grooves and two vertical mouldings. A very similar finger ring has been discovered at Colchester, although it is silver and complete with a glass setting, it is believed to be late 3rd or 4th century in date (Crummy 1983 49-50, fig 52).
