Description: | A copper alloy Roman bracelet fragment. It is part of a narrow, rectangular strip bracelet. One terminal is incomplete due to old breaks, and the bracelet expands in width at the opposite terminal where there are four parallel transverse incised lines of decoration. The bracelet is decorated with six 'v'-shaped incised lines along its outer surface running along the strip. The under surface is plain. There is a slight curve on the strip, which is 1mm in thickness, 49.09mm in surviving length and 4.3mm in width, expanding to 6.3mm at one terminal. It weighs 1.65g.Strip bracelets are likely to date to the fourth century AD, and a variety of decorated examples are illustrated in Crummy (1983, figs 44-46)
