Title |
Iron Age to Roman: Armlet |
||
Description |
English: A cast copper alloy hinged neck-collar fragment of early Roman date but with a strong late Iron Age influence. The present hinged terminal comprises a wide rounded transverse ridge decorated with closely-spaced diagonal engraved lines. Thinner transverse ridges, some also notched, lie to each side. Diagonal engraved lines are also present on either side of the forked terminal for the hinge. The collar itself is similarly decorated with two rounded ridges with a narrower decorated ridge between. The hinge mechanism can be closely paralleled with a recent discovery at Boverton, Vale of Glamorgan and other similar bronze/brass neck collars. The collars have a strong western British distribution, with many from south-west England. The neck collar was probably made between AD75-125.
Adam Gwilt comments: Generally, neck collars are seen as a class of objects made in the last quarter of the 1st AD - first quarter of the 2nd AD and are allied with beaded torcs. They have continuing Iron Age stylistic affinities, but utilise Romanising techniques and technologies. Metallurgical analysis of this piece would be interesting, to see if it contains zinc, either as a brass or gunmetal, which would suggesting Romanising tendencies. The decoration on this example looks quite formal and Romanising - I have seen similar linear work and laddering on other LIA-ERB metalwork. The curved end moulding with diagonal incised work may just echo the effect of beads on beaded torcs. |
