Description: | Roman copper alloy finger ring. The ring is incomplete with two worn breaks. The hoop has a diameter of 19.35mm, with the band being 5.56mm wide and 1.49mm thick. There are two ring and dot motifs, each bordered by three vertical grooves. The area between these two motifs contains two horizontal grooves with four small dots above and below. There is a worn break next to one of the ring and dot motifs. To the other side of the central ring and dot motif is a worn surface, with two faint horizontal grooves with short diagonal indentations along both edges of the hoop. Designs of this type are found on Roman finger rings and bracelets of late 3rd to 4th century date. The ring has a mid green patina, which is a darker green-black on the worn internal surface of the hoop.
