Description: | Fragment of a Roman tinned copper alloy military buckle plate. Most of the plate including both sides and the inside edge are missing. Two transversely pierced lugs or cylindrical attachments project from the outside edge and retain part of a spindle or bar which would have retained the frame. On the front face a groove parallel with the edge is followed by a wave-like arrangement of small punched dots. Though no means of attachment survives and there is no trace of openwork apertures this may be of Hawkes and Dunning 1961 Type II A. If so, then two further pierced lugs would have been present. Extant dimensions 15.5 x 28mm. 4th century, but perhaps still in use in the earlier part of the 5th.
