Looking for material traces of roman antiquity to the south part of areas searched and presented in posts "Ancient traces of an old road" Part 1 to Part 4, on the approximate alignment of the north-eastern limes, against the background of massive metal contamination in WW2, some evidence of the roman presence has appeared (2nd-3rd centuries AD), but also from other historical periods : iron knife with sleeve, iron knife blade, 2 iron keys, different iron nails, 3 lead projectiles (balls), 2 fragments of a dagger sheath, a semi-round one from the sheath of a sword and a sharp one from the sheath of a dagger, iron chisel, 9 iron hobnails from the sole of roman sandal-boots (caligae), roman iron arrowhead (ballista bolts), possible multifunctional iron tool with 2 elements (fragmentary), a roman bronze brooch (fragmentary) and an object that was very rarely discovered, iron spur with conical spin and lateral buttons. Certainly this was lost by a soldier from the auxiliary troops, of the Roman cavalry unit Ala I Numeri Illyricorum, which was stationed a few kilometers away and which controlled the entire military area under the roman administration. At some distance, a few years ago, I found another such spike, but bronze.
Enjoy ! :hello:

Excellent finds and story as well! Question: What are the rule in your country regarding finding stuff like this? Is it "finders keepers" or is it more complicated? Your posts are always fascinating. Thank you!

Unfortunately, the law in Romania says that we must bring to the institutions all artifacts older than 100 years...
