Title
Gold ring, possibly Roman
Description
English: Plain gold ring of slightly distorted circular shape made from circular-sectioned wire, about 1.5mm in diameter. The ring is quite rudimentarily formed and its scarfed join is still visible. Probably intended as a finger-ring, it is also possible that it was part of a simple ear-ring or necklace. The simple form is undiagnostic, but a Roman date is conceivable.
