Description: | A Roman copper alloy mount (2nd - 3rd century). It is a pelta-shaped mount with a single integral rivet (diameter: 3.88mm). The rivet probably originally had a large circular rove but this had broken off in antiquity. These style of mounts are most common from 2nd - 3rd century military contexts. The mount is domed and the reverse is concave. One either side of the central ?stalk? of the pelta there is a raised border. The end of the 'stalk' is broken and missing, again in antiquity. Both the breaks have the same dark green patina as the surface of the mount. Dimensions: length: 19.23mm; width: 21.11mm; thickness: 6.75mm; weight: 4.21g. | 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
