Description: | Roman penannular finger ring of cast copper alloy. The ring has overlapping terminals to allow variation in size. In its current position, the internal diameter of the ring is 16.88mm, and the external diameter 20.21mm. The band is 10.34mm wide and is rectangular in section. There are three longitudinal ridges decorating the ring, the central one being decorated with a wreath design or two rows of dots. The decoration of the ring is similar to a design used on an armlet from Colchester, see Crummy (1983) p38 ref 1586. The ring has a dull copper-red patina with a small amount of green pitting caused by corrosion. The ring is probably of 3rd or 4th century date.
