Title
Roman mount.
Description
English: Thin gold sheet disc, now distorted, with repoussé decoration consisting of a central eye surrounded by (clockwise) a horse / winged horse or lion, phallus, crab, phallus, snake or tendril with leaf-shaped terminal, scorpion, an arrow, and a bow and arrow. There is a border around the edge of the disc consisting of an outer cable-like line and an inner beaded line, through which are two circular piercings about one third of the circumference apart.. Cf. a similar but un-perforated repoussé gold disc with a winged phallus and a cantharus flanked by winged griffins from Colchester (Crummy,1981, 168, fig.205), subsequently identified as an ear-ring (Allason-Jones 1989, 50, no. 32; Fig. 2, no. 32; Pl. 17). The Colchester disc is from a context dated mid-1st - mid-2nd century AD.
