Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy bracelet/armlet of Roman date. It is suggested that such bracelets and armlets date from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD (see, for example, Stead and Rigby, 1986, p. 125-8)The piece represents one of two original terminals from a pennaular type bracelet. It is of sub-oval section and terminates in a wider portion, decorated with three transverse ridges and grooves. The curvature of the piece suggests that the artefact would have been of a relatively large diameter. The surfaces are corroded and the break appears to have occurred in antiquity.The fragment measures 15.8mm long, 8.9mm wide and 7.8mm thick. The weight is 5.62g.
