c. 90 AD
Roman Harness Strap Brooch
My Story
Copper cast alloy harness strap fitting. It was found under debris from the demolished rampart of the fortlet at Kinneil, near Bo'ness.
"I used to belong to a Roman cavalryman but somehow, over time, I have become a trinket belonging to one of the officers in charge of the infantry billeted at Kinneil. This is a cold and hospitable place. When the time came to abandon the wall I was discarded only to be found 1700 years later. You can now find me in Kinneil Museum."
