Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman finger ring dating from the 2nd to 3rd century. This object represents the bezel and one shoulder of the hoop. The bezel is octagonal and is 9.8mm long, 8.4mm wide and 4.82mm high. It contains a greyish substance, which is either very degraded enamel or the remains of adhesive used to fix the setting, now missing. The remaining shoulder of the ring is a constricted trapezoidal plate, 6.56mm wide tapering to 4.5mm wide that sweeps away from the bezel. The hoop is then set back slightly behind the end of the plate, forming a lip. The hoop is semicircular but flattened in section. It is 4.5mm at its widest point and 1.12mm thick. The ring has an overall length of 17.8mm and weighs 1.55g. It is very abraded and has a light green/brown patina.
