 Excellent dark green and turquoise patina.  Bracelets of many different designs and materials evolved within the extensive geographical and chronological range of the Roman Empire. Bracelets and necklaces were part of the costume in the Roman world and were intended purely for feminine adornment, having no utilitarian function. Large objects such as a bracelet rarely find their way into the ground by accident,  In the later Roman period hoops with rope designs, sharply engraved or cut in the so-called "chip-carved" style were common. Scores of patterns have been noted and recorded, from simple regular transverse grooves or milling over the whole surface or series of punched circles to more complex combinations of transverse and diagonal lines, circles and dots.
