Description: | Broken portion of Roman decorative bronze bracelet of 3rd-4th centuries AD. The fragment is curved but somewhat straightened from its true curvature as a bracelet, and consists of about half or slightly less. The metal tapers, over a curved length of 62mm, from a width of 6mm to 2mm: its thickness diminishes only from 3mm to 2mm over the same distance, although at the very tip the upper surface is filed away to leave a thickness of 1mm. The outer surface is ornamented with small notches along either side of the strip, with a central groove. Towards the centre, where the bracelet is broken, the decoration changes. A transverse groove creates a square at the centre of which a pronounced punched dot is seen. The back is plain. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 200
