Hi dear friends,
first of all i wish you all the best for 2016 ! Good health and happiness.
I've started this year with a bang. Found a Roman fibulae (Roman brooche in turtle shape)dated 1th - 3th century AD, in all probability was a Roman soldier the owner. It is a pin that the soldier was wearing on his chest to keep his cloths/mantle tight. The first line of defence of the Roman legion wore these pins, because the turtleshaped brooche showed that the were able to take a shield defending position. I'm very pleased with this find, it gets a place of honor in my showcase.
With kind regards from the Netherlands,
Johan
