Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman military mount, most likely to be third century in date due to its similiarities in style to other mounts illustrated in Bishop and Coulston, (1993, 156, 8-10). It appears to have possibly been of a cross shape originally but now only one arm and two incomplete/fragmentary arms of the cross now survive, the rest of the mount is missing due to old breaks. The surviving arms have curving terminals which almost touch and the front face has border moulding. The back face is concave and projecting from the centre of the terminal of the complete arm there is an integral cylindrical rivet with a flattened knop terminal.This mount measures 12.25mm in surviving length and 15.35mm in surviving width.
