Description: | A Late Roman copper-alloy finger ring.The ring survives in good condition, retaining its original shape and having little wear or corrosion; the inset is, however, missing. The hoop is of D-shaped section and of equal width and thickness throughout. Each shoulder comprises a U-shaped moulding, from the cleft of which the narrower hoop emerges. The oval bezel is largely occupied by a cell of the same shape, the base of which has been scratched (probably deliberate 'keying') and bears possible traces of a white metal coating.Width of ring: 17.8mm; depth (bezel to back of hoop): 18.6mm; bezel length: 5.9mm. Weight: 1.22g.A date of 3rd to early 5th century is suggested for this ring.
