Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Describes a knife handle found in a section of Roman ditch during evaluation of land on the western side of Southgate Street in Gloucester. The blade and pivoting mechanism are missing. The handle is carved from red deer antler and depicts a seated horse. The author discusses the horse as a subject in classical art, Roman penknives, the possibility that this example derived from the Rhineland, and other evidence of trade between Britain and the Rhineland including a glass flask reported in 2003/473. | |||||||||||||
