Description: | A broken curved piece of sheet copper alloy with two holes close to the outwardly curved edge. the holes are 4mm in diameter. Equally spaced acros the piece are three iron rivets.There are multiple possible uses for such a fragment of copper alloy, as a patch for a larger copper alloy object, for example. The presence of iron rivets make this object more likley to be later than Roman in date, making a possible use as a Lorica Squamanta, or scale armour, less likley. See NARC-14AEF1 for a description of a Lorica Squamanta. This object could well be armour related, but of a later date, such as a chin strap scale.
