Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman unidentified artefact which has a flat terminal with rounded corners and a sub-circular perforation. The perforation is an oval possibly due to wear on the upper edge and therefore a suspension loop. Integral to the suspension loop there is a rectangular moulded collar which is has a transverse ridge with a triangular platform below. Integral to the lower edge there is a narrowed sub-square platform which is sited slightly positioned off-centre on the upper edge. This platform has two small rivet holes with the remains of an iron rivet within. The reverse is flat but the square platform is discoloured suggested something was riveted on the reverse which is now missing. The surface has a mid grey/green matte patina. It measures 21mm long, 9mm wide, 4mm thick and 2.3g.The style of the terminal and the surface condition suggest a Roman date. Similar terminals are seen on Roman artefacts, such as nail cleaners and medical tools.
