Description: | A near complete copper alloy circular mount of probable Roman date. The mount comprises a flat outer disk of 33.68mm diameter with three parallel concentric grooves as a border. At the centre of the front face of the mound is a projecting, domed central boss, which is hollow on its back face. The back face of the mount has no decoration. Two large rectangular holes are visible on the flat outer disk, one of which has caused part of the disk to break at the join with the boss and at the outer edge. These were presumably utilised to attach the mount, the damage they have caused to the original object might indicate that these holes were a later addition. The mount has a dark green patina, measures 33.68mm in diameter and weighs 14.93g.
Similar Roman military mounts in Germany provide possible parallels for this example. See Oldenstein, 1976: pl. 49, nos. 555-557. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
