Harness junctionThis bronze harness junction, sometimes called a phalera, was found during excavations at the site of the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire. It was used on a horse harness sometime between 80 and 180 AD. The harness junction is a boss with a boy's face wearing a cap. It is damaged around the edges. Excavations at Newstead have revealed much about the layout and daily life in Roman camps in Scotland. Some of the finer harness equipment, such as this one, was probably used in tournaments or ceremonies rather than fighting. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
