Copper alloy Roman braclet fragment. Decorated by a series of alternating transverse raised ridges and grooves, these ridges vary in size with the larger appearing to have been scored. A pair of incised lines running longitudinally can also be seen below some of the ridges, suggesting further decorative styles, but the break is soon after they begin.
