Silver Artifact...ID, perhaps?
« on: August 15, 2016, 06:51:19 pm »
Ave!

Silver alloy; 95mm (110mm if straightened?)/ 10.4gm

Pretty sure it's a Roman something...Stylus? Any explanation of this artifact will be truly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best to all,

Kevin

It actually has a tiny bit of the spoon bowl present.  Yes, that S-form bend is typical of where bowl meets handle on the main type of Roman spoon.
