Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman bracelet. This fragment represents approximately half of the original bracelet. It is formed from a loosely twisted single strand of wire with a subcircular section. The bracelet has an even dark green patina. The broken ends are worn smooth suggesting that damage occurred in antiquity. It has a diameter of 46.82mm, a hoop width of 2.48mm, is 2.44mm thick and weighs 1.86g. A similar bracelet of almost exact dimensions from Colchester can be seen in Crummy 1983, figure 41, number 1590. It dates from the 3rd or 4th century AD. | 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
