Strap terminalThis bronze strap terminal was found during excavations at the site of the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire. It protected the end of a textile or leather strap, probably on a horse harness belonging to a member of the auxiliary cavalry. The strap terminal is somewhat corroded, obscuring details. Excavations at Newstead have revealed much about the layout, daily life and equipment in Roman camps in Scotland. The cavalry had special equipment for tournaments and ceremonies, to impress visitors and build morale. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
