A close-up of a hand holding a Roman ring key. They key section of the ring is square and like a belt buckle in shape.

A close-up of a hand holding a round stud that would once have been attached to a Roman military helmet.

A close-up of a hand holding a ceramic shard in its palm. The shard shows lines of frilly decoration.
