Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy bracelet or armlet of Roman date. One terminal end survives, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The band has a D-shaped section with flat back and rounded front face. This tapers towards the terminal, which is flattened, rectangular in form and possibly missing its tip due to old breaks. The front face of the terminal has a moulded transverse groove at its outer edge and a ring and dot motif at its centre. Traces of additional moulded transverse bands and notches are barely visible close to the old breaks but the precise form of the decoration remains uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 38.24mm in length (slightly bent profile), 5.58mm in width, 2.26mm in thickness, and weighs 2.57g.This is an incomplete Roman bracelet or armlet similar to examples noted from Colchester (Crummy, 1983: nos. 1683-1684, 1725). It is of late Roman date, c. late-3rd to 4th centuries AD.
