Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman mount. This mount is hexagonal in plan with a raised oval boss that has a groove running along its centre. The mount is damaged so that one end of the hexagon is missing. To the reverse are two complete lugs with circular sections that end in an integral rove. The area between the lugs is concave, bit otherwise the reverse is flat. The patina of the object is light green, mottled with yellowy green. It is 25.74mm long, 18.08mm wide, 6.26mm thick, to the top of the boss, and weighs 8.30g. Mounts of this type are associated with the Roman military and probably date to the 2nd or 3rd centuries. A complete example can be seen in Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, number 3.870. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 100
