Description: | A copper-alloy finger-ring of Roman date. This 'keeled' form of ring is thought to date from the 3rd century AD.The bezel takes the form of a lozenge-shaped cell with an indistinguishable cast design on its upper surface. This cell stands proud of the rest of the bezel (also roughly lozengiform), its base being bordered by a groove. The shoulders are angular, have a roughly central longitudinal groove and are separated from the hoop by a transverse moulding. The hoop is of D-shaped section. The ring is squashed and corroded. It measures 22.4mm wide, 19.5mm deep (bezel to back of hoop) and 10.3mm high at the bezel. The weight is 3.06g.
