Description: | A Roman copper-alloy finger ring.The hoop is of 'D-shaped' section, its narrowest point being at the back, from where it gradually expands in both directions. The hoop extends smoothly into the shoulders, which in turn extend into the bezel, the surface of which is occupied by an empty, oval setting. At one corner of the bezel there is a single cut mark of 'V-shaped' profile, apparently made by a single blow from a sharp-bladed implement.Dimensions: width: 22.3mm; depth (bezel to back of hoop): 20.2mm; width of bezel: 9.9mm. Weight: 4.69g.This ring is of typical Henig type II form (see Johns 1996: 42-43) and dates from the 1st or 2nd century AD.
