Description: | Damaged and incomplete Roman cast copper alloy terret ring (harness fitting). The surviving section is 'C' shaped, with the widest point being at the apex of the curve, measuring 8.05mm wide, 7.07mm thick. The width and thickness taper off at each end towards the worn breaks to 6.74mm wide, 4.96mm thick. Just before one of the breaks the metal steps in and is positioned at a different angle, and would have formed a bar linking across to the opposing broken terminal, to have given the ring an overall 'D' shape. It is 35.80mm long and 26.66mm wide. Weight 14.6 grams.
