Title
Roman horse snaffle bit
Description
English: A complete but fairly corroded iron snaffle bit. This object comprises two rings, of unequal size, joined together by two linking bars. The larger circular section ring is 46.9mm diameter and 4.7mm thick whilst the smaller, also circular section ring is 39.3mm diameter and 3.9mm thick. The linking bars are 63.4mm and 56.4mm in length and c.7mm thick. Each bar is bent round in a loop at one end to join it to a ring and at the other end to link the bars together. They do not appear to be welded closed.
An almost identical example in the Durden Collection, complete with different sized loops, was found at Hod Hill and dated to the mid-1st century and can be seen on display at the British Museum and illustrated in Manning (1985 67, H12, plate 29).
