  • Roman Metal in a Greek City

    Daniil Kostromichyov, T N SmekalovaARTICLEStratum plus Archaeology and…2026

    The article presents new data on a large collection of oval-trapezoidal buckles from Tauric Chersonesos. In European lite­rature, such buckles are known as Raddatz type C. Most of the Chersonesos specimens lack precise provenance information. Their date is established on the basis of comparable finds from assemblages of the mid- to second half of the 1st century AD. X-ray fluorescence analysis showed that almost all the buckles were made of “fres…

  • Magic of Aurichalcum

    T N Smekalova, Daniil KostromichyovARTICLEStratum plus Archaeology and…2024

    A study of the details of Roman military belts found in Tauric Chersonese by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy made it possible to determine that almost all of them were made of zinc-containing alloys, that is, two- or multi-component brasses (Cu-Zn, Cu-Zn-Sn, Cu-Zn-Pb, Cu-Zn-Sn-Pb). The steady use of brass (aurichalcum), even with a small zinc content, for manufacturing belt accessories suggests that this particular alloy was given a special, symb…
