Description: | Fragment of copper alloy bracelet, probably Roman in date. This strip of bracelet is 21mm long, 6.48mm wide, 1.88mm thick and weighs 1.06g. It has a flattened oval section and is gently curved in profile. One end is more flattened with a semicircular section, and, though partially damaged, appears to be ?rounded off? with a curved edge when viewed in plan. This suggests that it might be the tip of one end of the bracelet. The fragment is plain and survives with most of its original surface intact, which has an even dark brown patina. Examples of plain Roman bracelets can be seen in Allason-Jones and Miket, 1084, page 139. Probably 3rd or 4th century in date. | 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
