Regular price $395.00 Sale

An original belt mount from a Roman legionary’s sword belt, mid to late 4th century AD. See Forum Ancient Coins for related examples and detailed information. Particularly decorative, this mount was, capable of protectively absorbing the impact of a sword blow. Thus, was in fact, a form of Roman armor. It is bronze about 1 3/16” (1.18”) height of three adjoining diamonds, each with a cross within. Emperor Constantine converted in the early 4th century and Christianity became the official religion in 380AD. 24karat gold surface is restored and mounted on an 18” gilt silver necklace for modern wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
