Description: | Button and loop faster, cast copper alloy, Roman. Triangular, round sectioned loop attached to the head by an angled bar. Head in the form of three conjoined discs (one missing, one incomplete). The underside of these is hollow and they may have accommodated a missing element. A spike-like fitting projects from the central disc and projects through the side of the angled bar. Length 23.2mm, Width 17.0mm, Height 15.4mm, Mass 6.84g.While differing in detail this button and loop fastener may be best compared to Wild's Class 1 although it had three bosses rather than two. Wild saw this class early with pre-Roman examples and some from the Conquest period.
