ROMAN MINIATURE OBJECT
43
A worn copper-alloy Roman miniature axehead. This axehead is very simple; it is solid, rectangular in plan with rounded sides and terminals. It measures 19.5mm in length, 12.4mm in width at its widest point and is 6.5mm in thickness at its thickest point. It becomes thinner towards the blade end and at the other end has a circular hole where the axe shaft would be expected to occur. This hole is worn and appears to have been used for suspension which is unusual.
