Description: | A complete and worn copper-alloy amphora-shaped strap end of Late Roman date. It is flat and undecorated with a split attachment end, still containing a pair of separately cast copper-alloy rivets with flattened round heads. The main body of the 'amphora' flares into broad sloping shoulders before tapering to a point which has a rounded knop at its tip.This strap end measures 36.44mm in length, 17.81mm in width, 1.62mm in thickness, 5.40g in weight.This is a Roman strap end associated with Roman military Dominate belt-furniture of the 4th century AD (see Bishop and Coulston, 1993: 175, fig. 126). There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-149C21), (BH-107252).
