Description: | A cast copper-alloy possible belt fitting of probable Roman date.
The fitting consists of two arches, one wider than the other and both D-shaped in section, that have broken from a larger object. A break at the end of the larger arch suggests a third arch was originally part of the object. At the end of the smaller arch is a circular stub on a flat face that appears to have fit into a circular cavity. These ends suggest that the side originally consisted of three arches, with the central arch twice as large as those flanking it. And this would have been attached to a frame or other object, that probably fit on a belt or harness.
This object was found by divers in the River Tyne downstream from the Roman bridge at Corbridge. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
