ANCIENT ROMAN BRONZE BUCKLE. A LARGE , HEAVY BUCKLE. A MILITARY STYLE AND DESIGN BUCKLE. THESE LARGE HEAVY BUCKLES WERE GENERALLY TOO LARGE AND HEAVY FOR COMMON USE. IT HAS A BASIC DECORATION DESIGN COMMON TO ROMAN SOLDIERS. THE BENT TAB INDICATES A MAJOR STRUGGLE AS THEY ARE VERY STURDY. BATTLE DAMAGE? IMAGINE THE FORCE IT TOOK TO BEND THIS STEM.

IT IS 3" IN LENGTH AND 2 1/8" IN HEIGHT AND A VERY HEAVY 55.O GRAMS. THE ORIGIONAL SOIL, CLAY IS SEEN ALL AROUND THIS BUCKLE. IT IS AS FOUND. I ONLY BRUSHED AWAY THE MAJOR DEBRIS. A BEAUTIFUL HISTORICAL COLLECTORS ITEM.
