Description: | A copper-alloy probable armout-fitting of Roman date, c. AD 43-200.The fitting consists of an incomplete T-shaped hook with a large base consisting of a subsquare terminal with a circular perforation in the centre. The shank from the base to the crossbar at the end is stepped, narrowing for 2/3s of its length. The crossbar is very worn, and one arm of the the crossbar is missing. The crossbar and shank are both rectangular in section. In profile, the fitting is slightly convex.The fitting could be a lorica segmentata or lorica hamata fitting, though it does not exactly parallel many known fittings.
