Title
Roman earring
Description
English: Cast penannular ring of copper alloy which has a sub-oval cross-section with slight carinations on two sides and tapers to a sharp point at either end. The ends almost meet and are slightly angled away from each other. Unlike many other examples on the database there are no traces of gilding. 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). At centre it is 3.5mm by 2.9mm, it is 24.9mm wide by 23.4mm; it weighs 2.70 grams.
