Copper-alloy fragment of Roman armlet (c. 43 - 410 AD) consisting of a narrow band which is flat on one side and decorated with an incised pattern on the other: drilled circular indents run along the centre of the band, encased by lightly scored circles framed at either side of the band by triangular notches that run along the edges. The fragment has been bent at roughly midpoint to an angle of 42°, which may have been deliberate as part of a process of object re-use during the late Roman period (Swift.

Roman copepr alloy armlet fragment? 18mm long, 5mm wide and 4mm thick with a weight of 1.33grams. The object is rectangular in form and sub- rectangular in cross section and is decorated on one face. This consists of three triangular cross sectioned transverse linear depressions in the centre of the object. To one side of this are two possible chevron shaped depressions? On the opposite side of the transverse depressions the surface is plain and the object is slightly thicker. Each end is incomplete but the form of the decoration and the shape suggests a Roman armlet or bangle.

A fragment of a Roman copper alloy armlet that may have been reused as a finger ring, dating 3rd-4th century AD. The object is formed of a rectangular strip of copper alloy which thickens at on end. There is a punched annulet decoration at the thinner end and two engraved horizontal lines beneath. The object has a mid-light green patina and has been bent into a circular shape so that the ends overlap. The size of the opening is far too small for it to have been the original shape of the object, suggesting an attempt was made in antiquity to convert it into a finger ring.

A fragment of a Roman copper alloy armlet, dating from the 4th to early 5th century AD. The object is formed of a rectangular strip of copper alloy which would have been bent into shape. There is a decoration on the outside face constructed of a series of S-shaped motifs formed of small triangular indentations. These motifs form waves on the outer face of the object. The armband has been broken and folded in half. It may have at some point been converted into a finger ring, though this is impossible to tell due to its current state. The object has a mid-green pattina with some brown s…

An incomplete Roman copper alloy terminal, possibly from an armlet, bracelet, or torc. The terminal is formed of three reels. It has a flat head at one end, and a broken conical shaft at the other. The flat head is divided into four wedge-shaped recessed cells; two opposing cells contain red enamel, while the remaining two contain a dark coloured enamel, probably blue. All three reels are decorated with diagonal hatching somewhat like a rope. The two sections between the three reels are concave. The broken apex reveals a hollow centre.

Roman copper alloy armlet fragment, 34mm long, 19mm wide and 1mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 2.83grams.
The object consists of the terminal of a late Roman armlet and is rectangular in form and section, but flares in width slightly at the terminal. One surface is decorated with two rows of 'wreath' or 'rope' like linear bands which are seperated by three plain bands, marked out by linear incisions. The decoration runs to the edge of the object on one side, but at the other there is a wide band which is plain and has a faint trace of a linear incised border. Th…

A cast copper-alloy armlet of Roman date, probably c. 100-250.
The armlet is incomplete, but it is estimated that 40-50% remains. The armlet is circular in section and bears one terminal, its thickness suggesting it was cast in a penannular shape. The outer faces are decorated.
The terminal is distinguished by a beaded effect of the hoop in which the psuedo-beads are separated by collars bearing hatched decoration across their widths, with a total of four 'beads' that expand slightly in size as they approach the terminal. A similar pseudo-beaded effect, separated by hatched coll…

A fragment of a cast copper alloy armlet or bracelt, dating to the Roman period. The armlet is a band with a planoconvex cross section, the top of which is decorated with multiple horizontal grooves separated by two plain panels bounded by a further pair of grooves. The band tapers towards the terminal, which is now missing. A similarly patterned armlet was discovered at Balkerne Lane in Colchester and is recorded by Crummy (1983:42 no 1683). Crummy also cites another example from Shakenoak in Oxfordshire. Forth century AD.

A copper alloy Roman armlet or child's necklace, now in two pieces but originally made from one piece of copper alloy. The armlet has a thicker diameter in the centre (furthest from the connection clasp) and thins towards each end. The ends are bent over to form hooks that would have looped together to secure the armlet. There are two loops of coiled copper alloy (of 3 to 4 turns) which adorn the main wire as decoration. It is unclear whether there were more of these originally.
The thickness of the wire varies from 4.19mm max to 1.55mm at the hook ends. This armlet is from a Roman …
