RecordPendant< 1 of 1 > Back From Strageath, Perthshire
PendantThis bronze pendant was found at the site of the Roman outpost fort at Strageath in Perthshire. It probably hung from the horse harness of a Roman auxiliary cavalryman sometime between 80 and 180 AD. The crescent-shaped pendant is broken on both wings. The harnesses of Roman cavalrymen were decorated with a range of mounts and pendants. Some of the finer examples, such as this one, were probably used in tournaments or ceremonies rather than fighting. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
