Description: | Roman bracelet; fragment of cast copper alloy bracelet of probable early Roman date. The fragment consists of one terminal and a section of the band of what is likely to have been a penannular armlet. The terminal is of roughly oval cross section and is decorated with incised lines in a style similar to Crummy's 'bead imitative' style. There is a single incised line around the end, then a section which is decorated with cross-hatched lines, then a double incised line, a small gap and a final single line. The decoration is very worn on the outer surface and does not extend over the flattened inner surface of the bracelet. The band of the bracelet then tapers such that at the point where it has broken it has a flat cross section and is unusually thin.Approximate length (if straightened) 88mm, span (external - terminal to break) 32.3mm, width (at terminal) 5.2mm, thickness (at terminal) 4.6mm, thickness (at break) 1.7mm, weight 5.08gRef: Crummy 'The Roman Small Finds from Excavations in Colchester 1971-9' (pp. 44-45, no. 1717)
