Description: | A fragment of a Roman copper-alloy wide cuff bracelet.The flat-sectioned piece, broken at both ends, is sub-rectangular and appears to have been flattened. The central element of the decoration on the outer surface is a shallow longitudinal groove; this is flanked by a pair of plain ridges, which, in turn, are flanked by a pair of ropework ridges. Both surfaces have patches of adhering iron corrosion.Length: 22.6mm; width: 14mm; thickness: 1.6mm. Weight: 1.89g.Stratigraphic evidence from excavations suggests that broad, flat-sectioned bracelets of this form date from the mid to late 1st century AD. Similar pieces include nos. 163-166 from excavations at Baldock, Hertfordshire (Stead and Rigby 1986: fig. 52).
