Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Roman bracelet. The fragment has two broken terminals, and these breaks are not recent. In section the bracelet is a sub pointed oval. In plan the bracelet is slightly bent, but the curvature may suggest the internal diameter is c. 50mm. The interior surface is undecorated, the exterior is decorated with obliquely angled deep grooves. The surface of the fragment has traces of a well developed light green/grey coloured patina, otherwise it is abraded and corroded. It measures 49.35mm long, 7.47mm wide, 5.81mm thick and weighs 10.8g.This is a bracelet dated to the Roman period. A very similar example is illustrated from Gloucestershire (Viner, L. 'Bracelets' in Timby, J.R. Excavations at Kingscote and Wycomb, Gloucestershire Cotswold Archaeological Trust p. 153-158), No. 1.319 which was found with coins dating to the late 3rd to 4th centuries.
