Description: | A fragment of copper-alloy wide bracelet of early Roman date. Only one terminal survives. The bracelet was formed of a single strip of copper-alloy with transverse terminals that have rounded corners, thus avoiding 90 degree angled corners. This fragment has a flat undecorated reverse with a flattened 'D' shaped cross section, being flat topped but slightly curved on the upper corners. The upper surface is decorated with what appears as a line of triangles with the apexes pointing right. The area between the terminal and this linear decoration has incised curved lines. This fragment weighs 1.22g, has a length of 18.45mm, width of 14.50mm and thickness of 0.86mm.Excavated parallels include those from Colchester (Crummy, N. 1983, p.37, n0. 1566, fig.40 Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman Small Finds From Excavations in Colchester 1971-9. 1983.and Verulamium (Waugh and Goodburn 1972, 31, fig. 32).Many similar Roman bracelets have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database; the following list is just a few of these records: CAMHER-86CC72,PUBLIC-79E213, CAMHER-86B091, CAM-EF43C6, CAM-5AAAF3, CAM-811C55, CAM-EAB845, CAM-EA9195.
