Description: | Roman copper alloy military buckle fragment, 29mm long, 16mm wide and 2mm thick. The fragment is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 2.67g. The buckle when complete would have been D shaped with inward curling terminals. Above these terminals is a rectangular sectioned bar with two loops on the outer side to attach it to the belt plate (there would have been a central recess in this to hold the pin). This fragment shows about half of the buckle loop and it has the scar for one of the loops present on the rectangular bar. The object is very similar to fig.62, eg.15 in Bishop and Coulston, Roman military equipment. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Czechowicz, Rebecca | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
