Description: | Fragment of a Roman greave (lower leg armour). Greaves cover the front of the shin and were fastened to the leg by a cloth or leather band that passed through four attachment loops, one of which survives on this fragment. The embossed decoration shows the goddess Victory and a triangular 'leaf' (third century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | metalwork archaeology living in the North East art roman military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
