This site is simply to assist in the identification of Roman Military Artifacts. I welcome any addendum, suggestions or constructive input in relation to the descriptions, which are in my own words.I have tried to avoid “Technical Jargon”. This is an ongoing project so please look in from time to time for updates.
All artifacts are in my collection and originate predominately from the Rousse Region of Bulgaria, they are for the main, associated finds ,unless otherwise noted in the description.As there is a uniformity of Roman military equipment, the description of an item from Bulgaria will be ,for example the same as one from the Northern most extent of the Roman Empire (subject to local tribal influence). There are some UK finds described, but on the whole Eastern European Metal Artifacts are better preserved (due to soil conditions and less intensive farming methods), and therefore are the preferred item when photographing.If you wish to make any comments, or criticism please feel free to contact me at a.appels@ntlworld.com
