Description: | The object is a fragment of a Roman bracelet. It is made from cast copper. In plan the bracelet is a sub-rectangular shape which has been distorted slightly towards one terminal, therefore is not flat. The outer surface is decorated with a moulded design. The design consists of a ring and dot design which has low relief triangular shapes at the edges. The reverse of the bracelet is undecorated. The bracelet has a incomplete dark green patina. Probably less than half of the bracelet remains. One terminal that is broken does not have the same patina as the surface, but the break is not fresh. The other terminal appears to be an older break. In Crummy there is a similar decorated bracelet (No. 1704). The bracelets from Colchester are dated to the lare 3rd and 4th centuries. The bracelet measures 49.9mm long and 4.8mm wide. It weighs 1.53g.
