Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy finger ring. Part of the hoop and half of the bezel survive intact, the remainder missing due to old breaks. The hoop is oval in shape and relatively flat. It flares towards the shoulder to encompass the empty oval shaped bezel. The back face is flat an undecorated, and the front face demonstrates no apparent signs of additional decoration. The fragment measures 10.43mm in width at bezel, 16.62mm in height/length, 5.02mm in thickness (2.68mm at bezel), and weighs 3.88g. This is a fragment from a ring of Roman date, with an example of similar form, but with more elaborate decoration on the exterior surfaces, evident from Roman Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: Fig. 75, no. 71).
