Cf. Ivleva, T., 'The origin of Romano-British Glass Bangles: Forgotten Artefacts from the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age' in Britannia, 2020, pp.1-46, fig.3, for similar.
FootnotesBangles did not occur in a vacuum after the Roman invasion but were an integral part of globalising networks of cross-Channel trade and connections with the European mainland in the early first century A.D. According to J. Price bangles were first developed in southern Britain in the late Claudio-Neronian period (A.D. 43–65/70) and that in subsequent periods the craft of bangle-making quickly spread further north with the advance of the Roman army.
