Description: | A copper-alloy finger-ring of strip type of probable Roman date. Precise dating of this object is difficult, but the form is comparable with that of the open-ended flat-section bracelets of the mid-third and fourth centuries AD. The ring is bent and has been broken into two pieces. It is simple in form, consisting of a parallel-sided strip of copper-alloy with a row of punched ring-and-dot marks (with a plain area midway round) forming a central band around the outer surface. The terminals are vertical and each have an adjacent pair of vertical grooves.The ring has a dark blueish-green patina and is corroded in places. It measures 28.9mm long and 20mm wide. The strip is 4mm high and 0.5mm thick. The object weighs 1.4g.
