Description: | Part of a Roman copper-alloy finger ring with glass inset.The raised setting, sub-circular in plan, contains a translucent bluish-green inset with convex surface. The shoulders are of angular appearance, their widest points being at their inner ends, from which they taper. Nothing remains of the hoop. The area around the setting is heavily encrusted.Width: 17.2mm; depth/length: 8.9mm; width of bezel (transverse): 7.3mm. Weight: 1.11g.The form of this ring, with its angular shoulders, is typical of finger rings of the 3rd century AD (see Johns 1996: 48-49). Another ring with glass inset, BH-76E222, was found near this piece and is of similar form and date.
