Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy miniature shield. The shield is flat, probably once oval in plan, and has part of the outer perimeter of a raised oval boss in the centre. The shield is in a poor state of preservation, and only one side of the fragment has an original edge.Miniature shields are difficult to date although they are thought to range from circa 400BC to the mid-late 1st century AD.
