Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy finger ring of possible Roman date. The bezel is oval in shape and has been infilled with red substances though only patches of this now remain. The shoulders are wide and taper to form the hoop. The hoop of the ring is incomplete with worn breaks to either side of the bezel.The reverse of the bezel and what remains of the hoop are undecorated. The metal is a dark reddish-green colour and is worn. The hoop is 22.5mm in diameter and the bezel is 19.8mm long, 2.9mm thick and weighs 2.8g.While it is possible that this finger ring is of Roman date a later date can not be ruled out. Due to the lack of any further contextual evidence it is not possible to date this item any more securely.
