Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy bracelet of Roman date. Curvilinear and rectangular in cross-section it measures 60.5mm in surviving length and 3mm in width. It is flat with a thickness of 1.4mm. The outer edge is decorated with evenly spaced rectangular shaped transverse mouldings with four transverse grooves inbetween these. One end appears to be the incomplete terminal end as it is thinner and appears to have the start of a circular perforation through it. When complete this bracelet would have measured c7cm in external diameter.
Similar so called 'crenellated' bracelets with 'toothing' between the crenellations have been discovered at Colchester and are dated to the late 3rd and 4th centuries (Crummy 1983, 40-41, fig 43, no 1659). | 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
