Salvete omnes,
I am trying to help a future archeologist catalogating some objects which have been found in Neuss, the ancient Novaesium near Düsseldorf. - Germany.
Unfortunately, these objects don´t have any context with only the indication that they have been found there without any reference to where exactly or how. Could be civilian or military pieces.
For some of them I have a vague idea and I wanted to ask the help of the forum by having a look to the attached document.
And here you are my considerations:
object 1: humerale´s hook
object 2: too generic, the diameter of 1,9 cm could lead to a ring from a beneficiarius lance (https://www.roma-victrix.com/images/arma...tae31b.jpg) but the ring is closed so it should not. It´s also IMO too big to be a ring of a helm´s fixing lace...
object 3: could it be a decorative applique for a helm? Or anything else of course...
object 4: diameter 4 cm... a buckle from a cingulum?
object 5: decorative button with a lion´s head... no idea...
object 6: I am sure I have seen the same elsewhere but I couldn´t find it again... and I have used the google image search...
object 7: no clue
object 8: curly baby face... could be anything...
Many thanks to anyone who tries to help
