Description: | Roman cast copper alloy mount in the form of a human head wearing a radiate crown with seven spikes - probably the sun god Sol. Very corroded with little detail discernible. The cheeks and chin are prominent. The reverse of the mount is hollow cast, and there is what appears to be a lead based solder within. Small areas of orange-brown patina, the exposed metal is brown-red. Probably 3rd or 4th century. Length 32.80mm, width 29.94mm, thickness 10.56mm, weight 15.43g. | 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
