Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable Roman date. No exact match could be found for this piece, but its general form and its patina strongly suggest a Roman date. It may be a military type belt fitting (see Bishop and Coulston, 1993, pp. 99 for similar).
The object consists of a plain rectangular plate, now bent and corroded. At each end a small copper-alloy rivet sits within a hole.
The mount measures 24.8mm long, 10.5mm wide and 3.5mm thick (including the rivet). The weight is 1.08g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
