Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy bracelet of Roman date. The bracelet appears to be of circular bangle type but due to being incomplete it is not certain whether there was originally a clasp or whether the bracelet formed a complete loop. The surviving fragment represents approximately 40% of a complete hoop. The fragment is parallel sided and sub-oval in section with the interior being flatter than the external surface. The slightly convex external surface is partially decorated with a section of 20 slightly diagonal incised grooves and, adjacent. to one side of this,2 broader incised transverse grooves with a ridge between. The item has a deep green patina.This item is dated broadly to the Roman period c. AD. 43-410.
