Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A gold Roman circular mount. In the centre of the mount in a raised Julio-Claudian bust, probably of Augustus. On the reverse is the concave reverse of the bust. It is likely that the gold has been rubbed over an object, possible a coin, that depicted the bust. Around the bust is a circle of raised dots. Next around this is a single raised, plain band outside of which is another ring of, this time larger, raised dots. The outer edge of the disc has suffered damage at the 2-5 o'clock and 8-9 o'clock positions.

A gold fragment of jewellery of suspected Roman-Early Medieval date.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description: A complete cast penannular finger ring made from a flat sheet of gold with rounded ends. The surface forms three parallel ribs running along the hoop: one along the central line and one either side. The hoop is distorted to sub-circular shape with the terminals twisting in opposite directions. Both terminals are rounded, one seemingly complete and one with a tapered terminal possibly suggesting minor loss. On both terminals the ribs reduce in appearance towards the terminal, seemingly from manufacture rather than wear. The interior of the hoop is plain and smooth. Dimens…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Two fragments of an incomplete gold, perhaps Roman, finger-ring; part of the hoop is missing. The longer fragment retains a section of hoop which is D-shaped in cross-section (being flat to the inside) and below the shoulders measures 7.5x2.1mm, narrowing to 4.7x1.3mm before expanding at a jagged break to 6.8x0.9mm.

A near complete, gold finger ring dating to the Late Roman Period c. AD 300-410. Description: Gold finger-ring, much distorted. The hoop consists of a rectangular sectioned strip of gold, to which has been soldered three strand of filigree which is now broken in a number of places. The filigree is beaded, but the beads are now very hard to distinguish, which is probably due to heavy wear.
