Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 250-410) copper alloy multiple-motif hook-and-eye bracelet or armlet, now bent rather out of shape. The hook end is missing and the other end is broken across the eye (worn, old break). It measures 83mm in slightly-bent length and weighs 3.13g. The bracelet is parallel sided and max. 3.20x1.83mm. It is D-shaped in cross-section, being flat to the reverse.Behind the incomplete eye are four transverse grooves, beyond which to one edge is a line of seven punched circles. Also apparent is a central longitudinal groove. However it is a little worn, and more punched circles (and extension of the central groove) might have been lost through wear. Beyond a an apparently plain section is a c.50mm long area decorated with wide, 0.5mm deep transverse grooves. This terminates in a recent-ish break.
