<div>Dear Maroles,</div>
<div> We have several examples from a mummy grave excavated on the outskirts of Aquincum. There are smaller examples from graves of the Western cemetery of the Military in Aquincum. I think this must be quite a common bracelet type for the late roman period at least.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

In this pit a fragment of an ivory ring or bracelet (?) has been found. It has an estimated diameter of 8 cm, the thickness is 5,8 x 6,7 mm.</span></p>
