Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy sheet disc, most likely to be Roman in date, function unknown. This disc is circular in shape and just over half of it survives in a worn and bent condition, the rest is missing due to old breaks and wear. It measures 50.4mm in diameter and was originally flat, and only measures 0.6mm in thickness. Part of the centre of the disc survives and has three concentric rings of moulding surrounding a central circular boss, measuring 9mm in diameter. This boss and the surrounding mouldings project from the front face but are hollow on the back face of the disc.
No parallel could be found for this object, however it was found in association with other Roman artefacts and its dark green patina and decorative style suggest that it is most likely to be Roman in date. It was found in association with another smaller fragment of an unidentified copper-alloy object (see SF-B50A92). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
