Part of a copper alloy Roman 'military' buckle. The buckle would have been made up of a separate frame, pin and belt plate held together by a hinge pin but only part of the frame survives. The frame curves round to an involuted terminal and has oblique notches cut along the outer edge. Below the terminal is a hinge ring 5mm across.
