Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Roman bracelet dating to AD 250-410. The bracelet is an elongated rectangle in plan with a tapered and rounded terminal, which has become slightly crumpled. The opposite terminal is a broken edge, but it is not a recent break. In section the bracelet is rectangular. The outer surface has been decorated with a row of circular indentations. The surface of the bracelet is heavily abraded and missing its original surface. It has a mid brown coloured surface. It is 1.04mm thick, 41.45mm long and 6.24mm wide and it weighs 2.1g. Crummy (Crummy, N 1983 Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman Small Finds from Excavations in Colchester 1971-9, Colchester Archaeological Trust.) illustrates similar late Roman bracelets, for example No. 1728 which are dated to the late 3rd to 4th centuries.
