An incomplete cast copper-alloy ring, possibly a finger ring of late Iron Age to early Roman date. The remains of the ring are sub-oval in cross-section and only one turn is still intact; it is likely that both ends of the remaining band are broken. Traces of incised lines are visible on the outer surface of the band, in addition to traces of gilding in multiple places. The copper-alloy is of an even dark green patina. The ring measures 4.11mm wide, 3.03mm thick and weighs 5.47 grams. This ring was discovered in an area that has yielded a large quantity and array of finds dating t…

A copper alloy wire finger ring of Roman date. The hoop is constructed from a single strand of copper alloy that is circular in section. The ends of the hoop overlap and coil round each other twice to form an adjustable mechanism.
A near identical example is published by Crummy from an excavated context at Roman Colchester (Crummy, 1983: no. 1756). The current example differs only in that the two spirals are spaced further apart and the hoop is perhaps very slightly larger. The published example comes from a context dated to c.49-55 AD, suggesting a 1st century AD date for the curr…

A fragment of Roman (AD 200-300) copper alloy finger ring with intact blue glass intaglio, consisting of the bezel and shoulders to either side only. Measures 20.93x13.84x8.31mm and weighs 2.4g.
The shoulders are flat and c.1.2mm thick. The bezel widens to accommodate the setting, which is oval and 13.14x12.43mm. It is 3.44mm high. The intaglio sits slightly proud of the recess (4.20mm). It is decorated with a crude standing figure formed from simple grooved lines. The figure has become so debased that it now simply resembles a pentagonal base with a 'T' extending from its apex, up…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Roman (AD 200-410) copper alloy finger-ring of Henig Type IX (Guiraud type 9a), measuring 21.75mm in diameter (internal 18.80mm) and weighing 2.84g.
The finger-ring is polygonal in profile with eight external facets (octagonal) and is circular internally. Each facet is rather worn, flat and plain and there is no sign of any surface treatment. Henig (1974, 50) suggests that polygonal rings are a third century type while Crummy (1983, 49, ref. 1788) notes that polygonal hoops tend to be fourth century in date. Johns (1997, 41) also suggests a slightly earlier, Middle Empire range.
