Ancient Roman Bronze Distaff, Early Imperial 1st Century CE

Item Details

Description

This Roman bronze distaff, dated to the Early Imperial period of the 1st century CE, stands as a testament to the everyday lives of ancient civilizations. Its length measures 11.5 cm or 4.53 inches, with a slim 0.8 cm or 0.31-inch diameter. The distaff was an essential tool used for spinning wool into thread, highlighting the industrious nature of Roman society. This piece's preservation and patina provide a direct link to the hands of a Roman spinner from two millennia ago.
