Description: | A cast copper alloy semi-cylindrical bracelet, probably dating to the Roman period (70.5mm x 59.3mm; thickness at band ends: 8.5mm; weight: 31.79g). The bracelet is the same overall thickness most of the way around the band apart from an area of 19/20mm where the band is very worn and there seems to be a small amount of bronze disease. The bracelet terminals are plain with no decoration. The termials do become thicker, wider and semi cylindrical in shape with flat ends. Overall, the bracelet is in a very worn and corroded condition with a patchy green-dark brown patina.Plain penannular bracelets are difficult to date as they occur throughout the Roman period, but examples are known from late Roman contexts (Sally Worrell).
