Description:		A complete penannular armlet or wide cuff bracelet of the Roman period. The armlet is formed from a broad copper-alloy; rectangular section strip. It has manually produced decoration on the external surface consisting of three contiguous rows of punched grooves which extend to the terminals. The terminals are blunt-ended and expand slightly in width and thickness, they are defined by two transverse ribs and three rows of punched grooves. Note:   Although objects of this type are often identified as 'bracelets', they are more correctly described as 'bangles'. The latter are solid, whereas the former are flexible and closed with a clasp of some sort.
