Description: | Two adjoining bent and corroded copper-alloy bracelet fragments, dating from the Roman period.The bracelet has been made from a parallel-sided strip. On the outer surface a central band is flanked by two pairs of longitudinal beaded grooves. Although the two fragments fit together, the patination of the break suggests that the damage occurred in antiquity. At one end is a vertical edge, probably representing one of an original two terminals. Overall, the artefact measures 38.4mm long, 14.9mm wide and 0.7mm thick. The weight is 2.1g.Evidence from excavations (e.g. Crummy 1983: 37-38; Stead and Rigby 1986: 125-126) suggests that broad bracelets of this form date from the early part of the Roman period.
