Roman copper alloy lorica segmentata lobate hinge
The hinge is riveted very close to original curved and turned-over edge of a fragmentary iron plate, probably the neck edge of one of the top shoulder plates. Missing one arm but otherwise complete, four fairly flat rivets survive, and three lugs are still wrapped around the axial bar. The remains of the two lugs of the other leaf are still attached to the axial bar.
