Heavy Genuine Ancient Roman(Province of Judaea) Engraved Bronze Bracelet Circa 0-100 A.D. Mounted into Display Plaque. CLASSIFICATION: Roman-Judaean Bronze Bracelet. ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire(Judaea) 1st Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Outside Diameter: 59* 56 millimeters. Inside Diameter: 52* 50 millimeters. Opening: 31 millimeters. Band Width: 7 millimeters. Band Thickness: 4 1/2 millimeters. Weight: 17.78 grams. Plaque Size: 28* 24 centimeters(11* 9 USA inches) ARTIFACT CONDITION: Fair. One fracture repaired.

Heavy Roman bronze bracelet circa 1st century A.D. from the Province of Judaea. As you can see(with some difficulty, but look particularly at the middle of the bracelet and one end) the surface of the bracelet bears a fairly complex series chevrons(V” engraved into the top surface of the bracelet, done in such a manner that the point of the inverted“V” is at the very apex of the slightly crowned band, so one arm of the“V” drops to either side of the band. It was when created a fairly sophisticated and surely costly bracelet. The bracelet was not recovered entirely intact, as you can see, but originally it would have been of a reasonable good size considering the slight build of ancient Romans(the ancient population tended to be considerably smaller than contemporary populations) Originally the two ends of the bracelet would have come close to meeting one another. However the trailing ends of each side by their nature were quite thin and fairly fragile, and susceptible to loss through either breakage or corrosion. The tip of one of the two ends was broken off and lost in antiquity, or simple corroded away. The other side the end was fractured and then
