Description: | A copper alloy fragment of a Roman child's bracelet. The bracelet is 11.4 mm wide and 2.7 mm thick, weighing 13.0g. A length of c. 79mm remains. Judging from the curvature of the bracelet, it would originally have been less than 35mm in diameter. The exterior is decorated with moulded pairs of longitudinal lines close to the margins, leaving a blank central field between them. The bracelet has a good, even, deep green patina.Similar examples are illustrated in Crummy (1983, 42; notably 1676/1679). Such bracelets tend to date from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD (Crummy 1983, 37), and it is likely that this example is of this date.
