Description: | A copper alloy ligula, dating to the Roman period. The ligula has a circular section shaft which flattens and expands two thirds of the way down its length. There is a circular perforation in this flattened expansion. Beyond the expansion is a further section of shaft. This is grooved horizontally; the shaft then flattens to form a small oval spatulate scoop. The spatulate scoop lies at a 45 degree angle to the shaft. The ligula measures 78.17mm in length and 2.68mm in width. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
