Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A forged-iron adze head meant to till and move earth for a variety of reasons. The spade-shaped tool features a triangular head with a sharpened edge, a recessed triangular groove beneath the head for added pole bracing, and a pair of folded lateral flanged for holding the head of a thick wooden shaft. Adzes have played a pivotal role in agricultural and utilitarian tasks for cultures across the ancient world, and a Roman version is no less important! Size: 6.3" L x 3.4" W (16 cm x 8.6 cm)

Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000
