Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman bracelet made into a finger ring. A portion of the bracelet has been deliberately formed into a circle, overlapping at one end. The outer face is decorated with a series of short, overlapping, curved lines formed from rows of incised dots. Crummy (1983, 41) describes this style as 'wave-crest' and illustrates a very similar example from Colchester, found in a late Roman grave deposit on the Butt Road site (ibid. 42, fig.44, no.1705). Swift (2000, 118) suggests that bracelets of this type were primarily deposited in the 4th century AD.Diameter: 20.19mm, width: 4.53mm, thickness: 1.04mm, weight: 2.54g
