Lot # 907 - BRONZE TABLET FRAGMENT WITH INSCRIPTION IN MIXED CAPITAL SCRIPT. Italic world, possibly Roman or pre-Roman context, ca. 3rd century BC – 3rd century AD (tentative). Irregular fragment of a bronze tablet bearing an incised inscription on both sides. The surface presents a stable green patina with areas of corrosion; the letters were engraved after casting and remain partially legible. The script consists of angular capital letters. Notably, the inscription appears to include forms resembling the letter K and an A rendered in a triangular, Greek-like form, features that are atypical in standard Imperial Latin epigraphy. The possible presence of the letter K - rare in Classical Latin inscriptions but common in certain Italic alphabets - raises the question of a non-standard orthographic tradition. At the same time, other letterforms (O, T, M, N) are compatible with Latin capital script, and the overall appearance does not correspond to a coherent Greek alphabetic system. The inscription therefore does not appear to be Greek, but may reflect: (a) Latin text with archaic or regional orthographic traits, (b) a provincial or non-standard epigraphic hand, (c) or possibly an Italic linguistic context (e.g. Oscan or related Italic traditions). Further paleographic study and comparison with Italic and early Latin inscriptions would be required for a more precise attribution. Fragmentary, with surface corrosion; inscription partially legible. Diameter 54.5 mm Weight 16.51 g.

Lot # 908 - BRONZE 'PASSAREDINI' OR MACE HEAD. Italic culture, c. 6th to 4th century BC. Masculine ring forged from leaded bronze. The circular accessory features a relatively smooth interior surface as well as columns of two spikes surrounding the exterior. Diameter: 34,5 mm. Height: 16 mm. Weight: 31,37 g. Generally referred to as 'passaredini' and thus related to the equestrian sphere, this type of bronze object apparently has no certain function. Another hypothesis of use sees these objects as belonging to the military or domestic sphere.

Lot # 909 - ROMAN BRONZE BOW RING. Roman Republican period, c. 5th century BC - 1st century BC. Tricuspid geminous ring in bronze, formed by two cylindrical annular elements, connected by a median body surmounted by three cusps: a wider one, with a triangular base, and two thinner ones placed side by side, with a pyramidal shape. The rings have faint thickenings on the front. Dimensions: 70 x 31,5 x 35 mm. Weight: 62,62 g. In the past these objects have been interpreted in various ways: as female ornaments, tools for horse taming or bridle clips, as thrusters and bow turnbuckles. Among them, the most reliable hypothesis, based on experiences of experimental practice, is that they are bow turnbuckles, having as their main function the protection of the fingers during the release of the arrow. The tricuspid gemini rings are very widespread especially in the Emilian area, in particular in the Parma, Reggio Emilia and Modena areas, but they are also known in northern Italy in the Lombard and Piedmont areas. Their chronological classification is difficult in the absence of stratigraphic associations, given that they appear both in contexts of the second Iron Age and in the late Republican age, above all due to a tendency towards formal conservatism inherent in the instrument.

The bronze mount is heavily encrusted and covered with stable ancient patina.

The suspension loop allowed attachment to the weighing apparatus.

The upper section features two lobed projections resembling ears, while the face is defined by two concentric circular motifs forming the eyes. The lower end is decorated with an additional circular element. The reverse is fitted with two integrally cast attachment studs for securing the mount to a leather belt or strap. The highly schematic and geometric rendering of the animal head reflects late Roman provincial or early Germanic decorative traditions.
