Description: | A complete cast copper alloy finger ring, probably dating to the Roman period, between AD 43 - 410 (outer diameter of loop: 24mm; inner diameter of loop: 19.5mm; thickness at bezel: 3.5mm; weight: 2.6g).The finger ring, although misshapen around the hoop, is sub-circular in plan and D-shaped in section. The bezel (length: 16.5mm; width: 4mm) at the top of this large ring is decorated with a moulded design consisting of five or six incised lines with ridges in between, which are slanted on the outside of the decoration and with two parallel straight lines in the middle. There is no other decoration around the hoop. Overall, the artefact is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina.
