Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy collar or ferrule of probable Roman date. Approximately two thirds of the object survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is rectangular in profile and section, curved to originally have an annular form but terminating at both ends in old breaks. On the exterior surface there are moulded grooves comprising one central transverse groove, with a further two parallel transverse grooves towards the top(?) of the object. It has a green patina with some pitting and corrosion in places. The entire object measures 19.66mm in width/diameter, 11.74mm in height, 2.15mm in thickness and 5.34g in weight.This is probably an incomplete collar or ferrule. Similar examples are noted from Roman contexts in Colchester (Crummy, 1983: nos. 4101, 4103-4104) that, combined with the findspot, indicate a probable Roman date for the current example, c.43-410 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
