Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a probable Roman buckle frame. The frame is of Hawkes and Dunning type IIA (1961, fig 17 j), which is made up of a seperate loop, tongue and plate held together with a bolt. The loop of this type is formed of a pair of confronting dolphins.In this example less than half of the loop survives, the dolphin tail end is complete but the end where the dolphin head would be expected is missing due to an old break. The fragment mesaures 33mm in length and 12mm in width. The tail appears to be resting on a horizontal bar, which is similar to an example from Lullingstone, Kent (Hawkes and Dunning 1961, 52). This probable Roman buckle fragment is likely to be late Roman in date and could have been associated with the Roman military.
