Roman Cavalry 'Oak Leaf & Acorn' Pendant, c. 1st-2nd Cent. AD

Copper alloy; 42mm/10.9gm

Con/ Not As Fabricated!; green patina, cleaned and waxed.

Ref/ A&L AA14.16 variety, sort of. :-)

Seller's Note/ Look closely at the photo and you'll see why this pendent is not "As Fabricated". Somewhere along the line in antiquity, the original loop broke off and then a new loop was added, most likely by the Legion's smith. The smith was ether in a hurry to solder on the repair or was simply too busy to notice that he put it on backwards! Ancient repairs like this are scarce and a joy to behold.
