SCARCE ANCIENT ROMAN BRONZE DIPLOMA FRAGMENT
Roman Diploma Fragment, circa 1st-3rd century AD. A large heavy bronze diploma fragment with text in capitals to both faces.
Formerly Property of a Canadian collector; acquired 1970's, from the German art market (with label).
A military diploma is a bronze tablet recording the privileges accorded to Roman soldiers. Soldiers names mentioned, G ANTONIVUS and Cohort? The thirteen lines of text are clear. The larger 3 lines o...f text on the rear two very clear. It could be polished to a gloss finish but I prefer as is.
Weighs at 94.6 grams!
Broken measuring 113.24 mm high by 73.71 mm wide approx.The Diploma has an deep green patina and earthen deposits.
Fine condition.
From my private collection.
The bronze plaque fragment clearly inscribed in Latin on both sides, Very rare. Excellent green patina. Roman legionary diplomas were given to retiring legionary soldiers by the Roman military authorities to certify their years of legionary service, often with the gift of property in a Roman Colonia. They were often broken into smaller and smaller fragments and the pieces distributed among the male descendants to prove their Roman heritage. As time past they were lost or smelted to make jewellery or other valued items.
