Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy bracelet of early Roman date. A section of the flat, rectangular band and one terminal end survive, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The front face has decoration comprising two parallel bands, each band having cabled decoration. The bands of decoration finish at the slightly flaring terminal end, which has punched decoration consisting of a four petalled floret with ring and dot motifs at its centre and between each petal. The entire fragment is very worn, with a pitted and corroded green patina. It measures 23.33mm in length, 16.56mm in width, 1.26mm in thickness and 1.65g in weight.This is an incomplete Roman bracelet with close parallels noted in Crummy (2005: pp. 95-96) especially her Group A, the terminal decoration similar to her numbers 16 and 18 (cf. SF-18E6A4). These indicate a 1st century AD date for the current example, c.43-100 AD.
