Archaeology — Late Iron Age; Roman; 50-70CE
Torc
A bronze neck collar or torc of unusual form, broken into two pieces. It does not have a hinge so it would have been difficult to put on and perhaps this is the reason why it has broken. It is decorated with a simple feather and ring-and-dot pattern. Found with an early Roman burial in Harper Road, Southwark.
