Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A complete cast copper alloy Roman bracelet dating from the third or fourth century AD. The bracelet is formed from a narrow strip and is decorated with single raised transverse ribs at several points along its length.The terminals are narrowed. The breacelt appears complete (both terminals are present) however it is very small for a bracelet, but too large for a figner ring. It may have been a child's bracelet as there is no evidence for reworking.
