Ca. 100-300. Roman. A penannular bronze bracelet with a round-section band featuring ribbed decoration and lozengiform terminals shaped as crested snakes heads. In Greek and Roman culture, there were certainly healing associations with snakes as snakes were an attribute of the healing god Asclepius, who is often depicted with a serpent-entwined rod.
