3rd century AD. A bronze bust of a bare-chested gladiator or slave with pendant suspended round the neck, most probably a slave collar; ribbed socle base with rectangular slot to the underside; probably a chariot mount. See Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, item 378. 290 grams, 82mm (3 1/4"). From a private Belgian collection; previously part of a private collection formed in Germany in the 1990s. Very interesting in this small mount is the representation of the Roman slave collar, similar to the forty-five surviving examples, all dating to the fourth and fifth centuries C.E. Most have been found in Rome and central Italy, with three more from the North African cities of Thelepte, Lambaesis, and Bulla Regia. The collars were inscribed either on the neck band itself or on a pendant tag.
