Title
Late Roman Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete and heavily worn copper alloy buckle of possible late Roman date. The buckle is sub-circular in plan and D-shaped in section with a narrowed strap bar which is also D-shaped in section. The possible zoomorphic terminals which abut either end of the strap bar project inwards meaning that the buckle loop opening is keyhole-shaped. No good parallel has been found for this buckle but the shape of the loop opening and patina indicate an earlier date and although broadly similar to later Early Medieval buckles with zoomorphic terminals it is more usual that the heads would project outwards from the frame, the buckle loop would have a circular or D-shaped opening and the frame would be circular rather than D-shaped in section.

This buckle is therefore dated provisionally to the later Roman period AD c.200-410.
