Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or slide of Roman date. It is rectangular in form and section with rectangular aperture through which the belt or strap would originally have passed. The back face is flat and undecorated, with some slight post-depositional damage at one end. The sides curve inwards slightly towards the front face, which has moulded decoration. This is thicker than the back face and decorated with a deep central groove that is semi-circular in form and flanked by single ridges on either side that have small central grooves. The interior surface of the front face is hollow. This strap fitting or slide measures 19.47mm in width, 24.09mm in length, 11.59mm in thickness, and weighs 14.60g. This is a Roman strap fitting or slide, possibly with military connections, and probably dates to between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, c.43-410 AD.
