Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy finger ring of possible Roman date (AD 43 - AD 410). Length 18.3mm, width 10.2mm and maximum thickness, 2.4mm. Weight 4.01g.The lower half of the hoop is missing due to two old breaks. When complete the outer diameter of the hoop would have been about 23.0mm. Both sides of the hoop flare gently towards the flat oval bezel. The bezel measures 12.5mm x 10.2mm and has a thickness of 2.0mm. It is recessed at the top with a number of indentations that may represent a design. However, is difficult to interpret as such and the indentations may have formed a key for a lost setting. The ring is corroded and in poor condition.
