Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, probably an early Roman bracelet. It comprises a flat band that is rectangular in form and in its current state has been folded to form a U-shaped profile terminating at both ends in old breaks. The back face of the object is flat and undecorated, however the front face carries moulded decorative elements. These consist of a central rib flanked by shallow grooves that has transverse grooved decoration along its entire length. At the outer edges of the object are further shallow grooves and raised borders that are also decorated with transverse incisions along their entire lengths. The object measures 10.16mm in height, 13.32mm in current (folded) width/length, 1.10mm in thickness, and weighs 2.13g.This object draws many similarities with early Roman bracelets that have broad, flattened bands and moulded decorative elements on their front faces (see for example Blagg et al., 2004: no. 54; Crummy, 1983: nos. 1586-1587). This would suggest a date in the 1st to 2nd century AD for the current example.
