Roman copper alloy buckle
Fragment of a belt buckle, equipped with circular pierced lugs to accomodate the pivot bar whereby it was hinged to the belt plate. It is not now evident whether the straight edge of the buckle was continuous and afforded the means of attaching the buckle tongue or whether the latter was secured around the hinge bar instead, with a break in the centre of the buckle's straight edge.
