Circa 100 - 200 AD. A pure silver horse harness applique with long body and curved loop neck with central hole. This would have been used by a Roman cavalier on his horse. Very fine condition. The army of ancient Rome (800 BC – AD 476) was a formidable fighting power. It was exceptionally well disciplined, organised and supplied with a huge selection of effective and battle-proven weapons. The sword and spear were the infantryman’s main weapons, and the spectacular military successes of the Roman legions throughout Europe and the Middle East lay in the disciplined battlefield application and relentless training in the use of these weapons. Size: L:20mm / W:170mm ; 45g. Provenance: From a private collection; previously was acquired from G. M. in London in 2017.
