Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Roman mount most likely to be associated with military use and similar to examples from Germany (Oldenstein 1976, tafel 34, no 267-8). This mount is oval in shape, 25.73mm in length and 17mm in width, with a central oval shaped projecting boss with a longitudinal groove through its centre. Projecting from the centre of one long edge there is an integral roughly rectangular lobe, 8.2mm in height and 11.1mm in width, with a central circular hole through it, 5.3mm in diameter, this is worn along its lower inner edge and appears to have been a suspension loop, indeed one mount with from Germany has been discovered with a pendant suspended from this loop. The back face of the boss is concave and there are two integral rivets projecting either end of the back face of the boss, which would have attached this mount to a strap of some kind. | 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
