Description: | Roman shears made of iron. The two triangular cutting blades overlap each other, rusted together in the closed position. Shears were made in all sizes and used for everything from cutting cloth to shearing sheep. The design is so successful that shears continued to be used up until the nineteenth century (second to fourth century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work archaeology living in the North East roman | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
