Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman bracelet or armlet, probably dating to AD 320-450. The end is flattened with a moulded bead shape below it with two horizontal ridges beyond that. A further, smaller, bead shape follows, with two more ridges. All of this is 19.23mm in length. The main body of the bracelet is decorated with two longitudinal grooves which branch out from the lower of the two ridges to run parallel and close to gether along the bracelet, creating a central ridge. The bracelet tapers from 7.69 mm wide at the terminus to 4.62mm at a point 39.37mm from the terminus, where there is an old break. The bracelet is oval in cross-section, with the decoration appearing on the outer surface only. The length of the section extant is 7.69mm. Bracelets of this type have been recorded by Crummy and date to 320-450AD.
