Title
Roman gold ingot
Description
English: Treasure case 2008 T85: Archaeological case - deposited with archive

Treasure report:

Description: Small fragment of gold, hammered flat on one side, hammered into two facets on the other, broken at both ends.

Discussion: this item is either bullion (i.e. a fragment of ingot), or possibly part of an item of jewellery (e.g. a bracelet).

Date: uncertain, but likely to be ancient given the archaeological context, and possibly Roman given the other finds found in proximity.

L.: 13mm W.: 7.1mm Wt.: 2.9g

Note: this item is made substantially of gold and is more than 300 years old, and thus qualifies as treasure as stipulated in the Treasure Act 1996.
