Description: | Copper-alloy ring of Roman date. The form of the ring is possibly a stylised serpent design. The hoop is flat on the inside, with a slightly domed outer surface. There is a gap in the ring and the two opposing terminals are in the form of two thin rectangles. It is possible that these plates originally had something (eg a snake's head) attached to them. Adjacent to the two terminals the hoop is decorated with closely-spaced, vertical indentations. The only other decoration is a pair of faint, indented, vertical lines on each side of the hoop. It is a large ring at 26.3mm diameter and probably belonged to a man. The hoop is 3.5mm high by 1.3mm thick. The weight is 2.48g. The ring is slightly bent and has corroded surfaces. | 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: | 43
