Abstract

Metallic components of military gear found in Gardun, at
the site of the Roman military camp Tilurium, are analyzed
in this work. Belt buckles were a part of a Roman
soldier’s personal gear, while components of armour (chest
hooks and tie-hooks) and helmets (crest support) were
parts of his protective ware. Most items are riding harness
pendants, while the only weapon is an arrowhead. With
the exception of the arrowhead, which has been dated to
the medieval period, all of the materials analyzed date to
the first century.

Keywords

Tilurium (Gardun); Roman military gear; arrowhead
