Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman finger ring dating to c. AD 43 - 410. The object consists of approximately half of the original finger ring; all that survives is the bezel. This has expanded and thickened shoulders at either side and an oval recess to hold a gem or stone in the centre of the outer face. The ring has a 'D'-shaped cross-section and therefore belongs to Henig type III (Henig 1974, fig.1). The ring has been damaged slightly recently perhaps during recovery and there is a small rectangular indentation bordering the recessed cell. The ring measures 21.3 mm in length, 11.5 mm wide, 3.7 mm thick and weighs 3.9 g.
