Title
Complete cast copper alloy finger ring of probable Roman, third century date (AD 200 - AD 300).
Description
English: Complete cast copper alloy finger ring of probable Roman, third century date (AD 200 - AD 300). The hoop appears to be plain with an external diameter of 23mm and an internal diameter of 19.5mm. Weight 6.71g.

Close to the shoulder the hoop is sub-rectangular in cross-section, 4.5mm x 1.8mm and tapers gently towards the lower part where it is 3.4mm x 1.8mm. The shoulder is sub-rectangular in plan, 15mm in length and 12mm in width and has rounded corners. A raised moulding forming a bezel is sub-oval in plan and has a length of 9mm and a width of 12mm. This raised moulding is probably meant to imitate a gemstone. Due to the surfaces being corroded it is difficult to determine whether the ring would have been decorated. There is a green/brown patina overlying old corrosion features.
