Description: | Two fragments of a cast copper alloy Roman bracelet or armlet, probably dating from the 4th century AD (circa 300 - 400 AD). Both pieces were found in the same field and do join, but were found many years apart so the break is well worn. This bracelet has been formed from a strip of copper alloy that has a rectangular cross-section. The bracelet has a simple decoration, in the form of two parallel lines and a raised edge. The internal parallel lines are decorated with continious incised lines, which cross the raised lines. The eye end survives, but is broken. The hook also survives intact and is rounded in form. The interior of the bracelet is smooth and undecorated. The metal still has much of its original surface surviving and the patina is very smooth. The metal is a dark jade-green colour.Measurements:1) 114.1mm x 6.6mm x 1.4mm Weight: 6.8g2) 74.9mm x 6.7mm x 1.4 mm Weight: 4.2g
