Description: | A copper alloy probable finger ring which may be Roman. The finger ring is unusually large and may be for wearing on a thumb or by a man if it is a finger ring at all. It has a diameter of 31.3mm and is 8.3mm thick. The ring is penannular and spiral and has simple and stylised possible snake head terminals which are little more than rounded triangles. The hoop is D shaped in section. The ring is in fair condition. It has a smooth light green and brown patina but has recently broken into two pieces. Snake head rings are discussed in "The Jewellery of Roman Britain" by Johns (1996).
