Description: | Roman lead strap-end. These were used to weight down the end of the leather belt worn by soldiers, but they were usually made out of copper alloy. This is therefore a very rare piece, and may be a trial casting or a cheap replacement for a lost copper alloy example (third century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | archaeology living in the North East clothes roman military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
