guy Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Quote Close examination of the tiny battered object revealed a laurel wreath and an eagle, said numismatist Adrian Marsden This discovery by an amateur detectorist from Norfolk of a Roman earring is noteworthy: Quote Nick Bateman, 53, from Burston, Norfolk, made the find in a field he had nicknamed "disappointment" after regular searches revealed "junk". The earring was initially believed to be medieval but closer examination by an expert revealed it was Roman. It would have had two loops, one to hang from a ear hook, while a now missing object would have been suspended from the second loop. Mr Bateman made the discovery in a south Norfolk field on Christmas Eve 2021. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-63989057 Edited December 28, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
