Description: | A cast copper-alloy stud of probable Roman date. Although no exact parallel could be found for this piece, it nevertheless bears certain similarities with a number of mounts found with a hoard of mostly military fittings at Camerton, Somerset (see R. Jackson; 1990; pp. 47). It probably dates from the 1st or 2nd century AD.
The object is conical in form, the top terminating in a flattened globular moulding, and the bottom having a raised ridge with central groove. The underside is flat and has traces of attached iron corrosion or mineralised leather. It measures 12.1mm in diameter, 14.2mm high and weighs 6.51g. | 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: | 1
