Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy probable Roman scabbard slide. With an incomplete rectangular shaft, 21mm in surviving length and 12mm in width, tapering towards a missing terminal end, the other end curves back at right angles to the shaft and has a central integral cylindrical rivet projecting from its centre. Projecting from the top face of this terminal there is a vertical flat rectangular shaft with roughly half of an incomplete circular loop set at the same plane as the shaft at its tip, measuring c15mm externally and c12mm internally.
This probable scabbard slide is similar in form to an incomplete example from Hadrian's Wall and associated with the Roman military (Bishop and Coulston, 1993, 120, fig 80, no 13). | 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
