Description: | A worn but complete cast copper alloy finger ring of probable Roman date. The finger ring has a slightly misshapen band that has a D-shaped cross section, with four moulded transverse ribs either side of a raised circular bezel. The bezel appears to have two small and worn circular indentations in it and although it still remains the case that this coule be a momento mori ring of late medieval / post-medieval date, the style of the finger ring, especially when compared to others, does appear to have closer similarities to Roman period rings than those of later periods. Therefore these two small indentations could be for enamel inserts, or the result of wear / damage.
