Roman Hunting....

CRUSADER · Oct 31, 2009

As it was dry all week we had one more shot on the field we did last week. Tomorrow is going to be stormy so will catch up with some recording jobs at home.

Roman Brooch
Roman Pin-head
Bead
Roman Locking pin attachment
Nice Roman disc mount (leather decor)
Strange mystery Roman piece - might be a lamp lid :dontknow:

I got a Roman Silver (Sept. Sev. AD180s) & a hammered - James I Penny :headbang:

I think you're right on lid of sorts, but don't know for what. What makes you think lamp? Did roman oil lamps even have lids?
