Roman Mansio Site - Day 4...

[CRUSADER]

In case you didn't read the last post, the Geophysical Survey shows a large 'T' shaped Roman Building, plus a couple of weird anomalies which still need explaining.
Today we gridded for just over 4 hours getting slowing further away from the main area. We still have some field to go but its a very low productive area.

Much better than expected result today;

19 Roman Coins, 3 OK ones.
Iron Age (Celtic) Fibula
Roman 1st C AD Fibula
My star find a complete Military Roman Strap-End (amphora shaped), my first complete example.

With these amount of bronzes it's time for a Denarius.

Congratulations on some more great digs, beautiful finds. Time and again you have posted fibulas, and time and again I have been looking for a lower leg bones, until I looked up what it is. Now I know! LOL Thanks for sharing!

Nice selection of goods. That full length fibula is a nice find. Keep at it for the silver and gold!

We were hoping for that today, but we have now covered all the area where the silver came from. Last Feb we had 7 silvers off this field, problem is that it needs a deep plough, as we are just getting the few scrappies we have missed. Missing a silver is a little more difficult as last year we hit it from 2 angles.
