Description: | A slightly damaged copper-alloy ferrule of probable Roman date. Three similar examples were found in excavated levels at Usk Roman fort (W. H. Manning; 1995; pp. 32) in contexts dating from the 1st to early 2nd century AD. The contexts of other known examples also suggest a possible military use.
The object consists of a hollow cylinder, which has been cast in one piece and is decorated on its outer surface with a wide band of closely-spaced horizontal ridges and indentations. The inner surface is plain and there is a large post-depositional crack.
The piece measures 13.2mm high by 12.1mm in diameter, with walls 1.5mm thick; it weighs 4.22g. | 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: | 1
