Roman copper alloy lorica segmentata lobate hinge
Crumpled remains of a plate, retaining an axial bar between two lugs. Traces of three rivets survive, two near the hinge and one further back. Such an arrangement of rivets is unusual on a hinged fitting and could suggest a lobate hinge, all be it of rather small size.
