Two strips. The first has a circular terminal (diameter c. 24mm) at one end, broken at the other end. The circular terminal has a damaged perforation and there is the suggestion of another nail hole at the broken end. The second strip is broken at both ends, with the remains of two nails still attached. The back of a Roman shield was sometimes strengthened with iron bars, fastened through the shield-board with disc-headed iron nails, and such a bar would frequently also reinforce the handgrip.
