Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy strap-mounted and skirted terret, worn and broken, most of the upper part of the loop through which the reins would have run is missing, with a tranverse rib at the junction with the lower part. The triangular front and back parts of the 'skirt' project down to cover the missing attachment loop. There are no traces of integral stumps from the missing loop. However there is a deep rectangular socket within iron staining, which might originally have contained a separate iron loop. Surviving height 23mm. Surviving width 27mm. Strap-mounted and protected loop terrets are usually considered to be Roman, dating to the late first and second centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
