Victrix

Belt plate 2nd-Early 3rd century. The decoration is vegetal - ivy or grape vine with leaves - common on Roman stuff and possibly related to bacchus.

Its a Saalburg type D-frame Roman military buckle from circa 100-130 AD.

The top belt piece is a piece of early La Tene/celtic belt The other item is a lorica squamata scale.

This type would be late-2nd to early-3rd century. Mount either for horse harness or belt.

These 2 mounts would come from the same general era. If you flip the top one vertical you can see the stylized dolphin in the centre of the design. They date roughly 150-225 AD.The top one is known as Klosterneuberg style after the finds at that abbey just north of Vienna. They would have been mounted on a leather belt not much wider than them. Just riveted to the leather. It is thought that the leather was often dyed as traces of read leather belts have been found on Roman military sites in the desert. So they likely looked like shiny brass or silver color (if tinned) on a red or black belt.

Dura-europos buckle+belt plate, the plate would have held some form of spindle that got lost. The form dates to the Antonine to Severan period (mid-2nd to early 3rd c AD).

These narrow tear-drop strap ends date to 120s to mid-third century AD and were used with the Dura Europos and Osterburken belt buckles on belt sets with long plates - solid or openwork. They were used in pairs as the end of the belt was split in two for its last few feet of length.

I'll be slowly posting many roman military artifacts with their ID and dating here. People can possibly use it for reference if they want to get into it. 😄 Not all first century buckles were large. In fact i suspect it was only a minority as buckles like mine are way more common than the large ones. This is a Saalburg type buckle, dated to the Tiberian to Hadrianic period - roughly 30s to 130s AD. See Bishop & Coulston, p.97, #15.

Hello! Bought these two from a metal detectorist and as far as i've read the swastika was used by the Eburones. But I also see coins with swastika attributed to the Atuatuci. Anyone can give me some insight ? 😄

ARCHBISHOPS OF YORK, WIGMUND (837-49), STYCA, COENRÆD, VIGMVND AROUND CROSS, REV. COENRED AROUND CROSS

Senones potin coin, 150-50 BC. Always happy to add a celtic coin with great flan quality to the collection 😄

That would be my best guess too. It seems to be of too 'high' quality to just be a fourrée core. It also seems to have circulated a good amount by the wear so that would exclude it as a plated forgery.

No clue what this coin was supposed to be. It arrived in a big lot a year ago and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. Also haven’t seen an antoninianus limes or fourree before. Thoughts?

The Triumvirs. Mark Antony and Octavian. Spring-early summer 41 BC. AR Denarius Ephesus mint; M. Barbatius Pollio, quaestor pro praetore. Bare head of Mark Antony right; M • ANT • I(MP) • (AV)G • III • VIR • R • P • C • M BARBAT • Q • P around / Bare head of Octavian right, wearing slight beard; CAESAR • IMP • PONT • III • VIR • R • P • C • around Managed to get this very cheap for 350 , while the Octavian part is quite worn. I like the fact that it's a scarcer die and the multiple cuts all over the coin shows it travelled plenty.
