Description: | Copper alloy Roman military mount. This mount is circular in plan with a diameter of 33.88mm and weighs 17.79g. The front of the mount is decorated with two, parallel incised lines that run around the perimeter, but is otherwise plain. There is an integrally moulded, circular boss at the centre of the mount which has a diameter of 14.18mm and stands approximately 5mm proud of the rest of the mount. The reverse of the mount is plain. There is a concave hollow that represents the back of the boss. There are two circular lugs that are ‘capped’ with integrally moulded circular roves. This type of military mount dates to the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Exact parallels can be found in Oldenstein, 1976, Zur Ausr??stung r??mischer Auxiliareinheiten. | Subjects: | Mount Military | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
