Cast copper alloy umbonate bridle boss from the 17th century. It is hexagonal in plan with a raised central circular boss which is 11mm high. It is hollow on the reverse.

Copper alloy as of Claudius (41-54), minted in Rome, 41-50 AD. RIC I, p.128, no.97. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example could not be classified to a particular mint, nor as a native copy.
