MountThis small mount of brass was found at the site of the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire. It could have been used for a number of purposes. The object dates from between 80 and 180 AD. The small oblong mount has a hole at either end, one now obscured by corrosion. Newstead was the largest auxiliary fort in Scotland in the late 1st century AD. In the 2nd century it held a cavalry regiment and legionary detachment. Excavations at Newstead have revealed much about the layout and daily life in Roman forts in Scotland.
