Description: | Cast copper alloy strap slide, originally trapizoid in profile the short base is lost to old breaks and one of the sloping sides is bent with about a fifth lost to an old break. It is therefore not clear it is was a complete loop or the ends overlapped at the base. The remaining top corners and the corner between the base and complete side are square. The top bar is wider with the sides tapering in width towards the narrower base. The top and sides are pointed oval in section with a central rounded ridge on both sides and narrower edges; the sides are thinner than the top bar. It is 20.7mm long, 14.2mm tall, 9.4mm wide and 2.6mm thick; it weighs 3.84 grams.Such a simple shape is difficult to date precisely but it is probably Roman.
