Description: | A copper alloy incomplete Roman finger ring dating from the 1st - 3rd century. Only about a third of the ring survives, including half of the setting for the gem on the bezel. The recessed setting was circular or oval and was set in the expanded bezel. The shoulders are rounded and taper to a D shaped section across the band. The gem is missing. The metal has a smooth dark green patina which has been worn away in places to reveal the brass underneath. The wear is particularly noticeable on the inside of the hoop.
