Amazing. I'm guessing that field was not in Kansas

Amazing finds, that looks like a rich field! Most impressive to me is this:
To those not aware, it is a bronze "Roman Military Diploma" fragment. The diplomas were given to soldiers who had faithfully completed their military service and been discharged with full citizenship rights. I had read that after being verified and recorded as a citizen in the region the veteran chose to reside/retire to, the diplomas were often broken apart and fragments given to children/heirs.
It is a very wonderful find!!!

Lots of good finds. In the UK that bronze piece with writing would be nationally historic.
I also like the small casket mount in the shape of a humans face, I have a few lions but not seen one like yours.

Unbelievable. Congrats
I just keep staring at the great condition the brooch is in and the other finds, the face mount is also stunning. I really think that you have the Roman Nod, congrats!

Thanks to Plumbata and Crusader for enlightening the dummies like me with history and identification of some incredible pieces. I would imagine the diploma piece would be a great addition to any museum. Thank you for sharing your good fortune Obelix. Wonderful pics!
