A baldric terminal discovered at the Roman town and fort of Porolissum (Roman Dacia, today Romania)

  • TITLU în română: O piesă terminală de la o cingătoare de sabie descoperită în oraşul şi fortăreaţa romană de la Porolissum (Dacia Romană, astăzi România)
  • Subiect: In order to identify new spots for future archaeological excavations a field survey has been organized at Porolissum in May 2004 by the County Museum of Zalău. Amongst the artefacts retrieved with this occasion the most attractive item is the balteus strap-end. The piece, made of bronze, is entirely preserved, except the missing rivet from the hinge that held together the fix and the mobile parts of the piece. The baldric terminal analysed here has both parts of ivy-leaf shape, which may represent a new type for this category of material, although some military tombstones demonstrates that, actually, this shape was quite normally used by military persons. Following the technique, the shape and the motifs used in the decoration of this piece it can be suggested a period between mid 2nd to mid 3rd centuries AD.
