Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy probable strap loop (length: 25.7mm; width: 11mm; thickness: 5.9mm; weight: unknown as the artefact is fastened inside a box). This strap loop has the remains of a back plate with a slihtly rounded section. As the plate curls around to the front, it tapers outwards slightly before becoming more narrow with a flat section and circular end with a rivet hole through the centre. No rivet remains. The loop does not seem to have any decoration and is in a generally bad and corroded condition with little of the original patina remaining, which now appears patchy green/ brown in colour. This artefact is similar to junction loops that were found attached to junction phalera in Newstead (as illustrated in Bishops & Coulston's 'Roman Military Equipment', 1993, page 121, no 81), which date to the 2nd century AD. This artefact is also similar to WMID-1653B3. | 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: | 43
