Description: | The finger ring is made from cast copper alloy. In plan it is a sub-oval shape. In section it is a 'D' shape. The outer surface is decorated with continuous transverse grooves. The ring has a well developed dark green patina. The ring measures 19.62mm long, 16.15mm wide and 1.61mm thick. It weighs 0.4g. Crummy (Crummy, N 1983 Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman Small Finds from Excavations in Colchester 1971-9, Colchester Archaeological Trust) illustrates a very similar ring, No. 1770 and suggests a date of the late 3rd to 4th centuries, which may apply to the recorded example.
