Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman finger ring, dating to the period c.AD 100-300. The ring has a rectangular bezel which exhobits a worn break along one edge where the shoulder would have joined. A raised circle is placed centrally on the square. An incised line denotes the boundary of the bezel from the remaining shoulder, which is triangular and narrows to a worn break where it starts to extend to the hoop. The reverse is undecorated. A grey-silver patina is on the surface, and it is therefore possible that the ring was silvered. This is Henig Type VIII.The ring measures 18.99mm in length, 11.55mm in width, 3.33mm in thickness at the raised dot on the bezel, 1.89mm in thickness at its thinnest and weighs 2.46g.Cf. LIN-24B926 and NLM-C208C4 on the database which exhibit similarities
