Title
Roman copper-alloy earring
Description
English: A penannular ring of cast copper alloy with an oval cross-section and tapering to a sharp point at either end. The sharp pointed ends overlap. No trace of gilding survives. Objects of this shape are quite common finds from Roman contexts and are usually interpreted as earrings (Allason-Jones "Ear-Rings in Roman Britain", this is interpreted as Type 1 common from 1st to the 4th century). Similar objects have, however, also been found from later, Early Medieval contexts, where they are interpreted as finger rings or earrings (Rogers "Anglian and other finds from Fishergate" pages 1370-1371, inc fig 668, artefacts 5411-5413). A good number of these objects is recorded on the database.
