Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman bracelet, which may have been re-used as a finger ring as the two ends are wrapped around each other. The bracelet is rectangular in shape, measuring 5.9mm in width, it is wrapped around itself to form an oval shape which measures 30mm by 18mm externally and 24.7mm by 13.7mm internally. The outer face of this bracelet is decorated with a moulded zigzag pattern with zigzag incised grooves also present. One terminal is complete and tapers towards the tip, the other is incomplete due to an old break.
A similar, although complete bracelet has been found at Colchester and such copper alloy bracelets are believed to date to the late 3rd and 4th centuries (Crummy 1983, 39-41, fig 43, no 1653). | 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: | 250
