Description: | Copper alloy roman military buckle. The buckle has a scroll-shaped hoop, a long shank and terminates with a rectangular strap loop. The corroded copper alloy pin remains in situ. This type of buckle is very common on the German limes where it was in use between circa AD150-200 (Oldenstein 1976, 215-16, Taf. 76, no's 1011-25 and Abb 7). Examples from England are not particularly uncommon and include finds from South Shields, Tyne and Wear (Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984, 194 no. 3.617), an unstratified example from the Caerleon Canabae (Evans, 2000, p377, no.160, fig 92), and a stratified example from the legionary fortress baths at Caerleon dated to between AD160-230 (Zienkiewicz, 1986, p 175, no. 32, fig. 57).
