An almost complete cast copper alloy early Roman skirted terret ring, dating to c. 43-100 AD. It has a circular loop with an integrally cast flared skirt. The loop had three decorative loops, set equal intervals apart with one at the top and one on each side. The top one is now missing. These decorative sub-circular loops have three circular knops at similar intervals around their outside edge. The loop is set on a slightly raised panel on top of the skirt. The skirt comprises four triangular extensions out from the centre, almost like a four pointed star. One of the points has broken off half way. The two points which run parallel with the loop are flared upwards at their ends. The opposing two are flared downwards at their ends. Below the skirt, in the centre is set a rectangular loop, on the same axis as the top circular loop and cast integrally. Measures- 61.26mm x 51.34mm width of skirt- 42.48mm
