Description: | A Roman copper-alloy finger ring.A Y-shaped ridge divides the surface of the oval bezel into three elliptical cells, none of which retains any trace of an inset. The shoulders of the ring taper into the hoop, which is of oval cross section and terminates in two overlapping ends.Width: 13.7mm; length/depth: 14.4mm; bezel width: 9.9mm. Weight: 1.98g.Enamelled finger rings appear to date from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD (Daubney 2008). The low diameter of this example suggests it may have been a child's ring.
