Title
SF-80B0B9: Roman finger ring
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy Roman finger ring. Only the outer section and a small part of the hoop to either side survive. The ring has a rectangular bezel with an oval recess in the centre of its outer face, which is filled with whitish, chalky material. The band is narrow and D-shaped in cross-section, becoming slightly wider where it joins the setting. There is also a raised ridge decorating the outer face at the point where the band joins the bezel. The surface of the metal is much corroded and the breaks well worn.

This ring is not easy to place within Henig's Typology, but is closest to his Types XIII and XV, suggesting a possibly 3rd of 4th century date range.

Total length: 18.90mm, length of bezel: 12.86mm, width of bezel: 12.21mm, thickness: 3.90mm, weight: 2.80g
