Description: | A fragment of a Roman copper-alloy bracelet. Such broad, flat bracelets appear to be a product of the earlier Roman period, being found mainly in 1st and 2nd century contexts (see, for example, Stead and Rigby, 1986, p. 125). Only a small fragment of the bracelet remains, having been broken off at both ends. The outer surface has moulded decoration comprising a plain central band flanked on either side by beaded borders; these borders give way on either side to a pair of grooves with a central ridge. The inner surface of the bracelet is plain.The surfaces of the piece are heavily corroded. It measures 25.6mm long, 19.5mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The weight is 3.6g.
