Roman Phalera, Horse, flawed

Roman Phalera, Horse

Discounted item with manufacturing flaw!
This phalera, which should actually have a shiny lustre, was delivered with a rather matte surface due to faulty processing. Its price has therefore been reduced by 50% - now only EUR 14.99 instead of EUR 29.99!
If you don't mind the finish or are precisely looking for a matte silver version, this is quite a good bargain to grab. And with a bit of practical know-how, you can also plate, varnish or paint it according to your taste.

Please note that discounted products that are expressly mentioned as flawed items are non-returnable.

A phalera is the Roman equivalent to a military medal or trophy. In Ancient Rome, these ornate disc-shaped plates, usually made of gold, silver or bronze, were awarded to Roman soldiers who had distinguished themselves in battle. During parades, a highly decorated Roman legionary (called a phaleratus) would exhibit his phalerae on a leather chest harness worn over his armour. Honored veterans who had amassed enough medals for a full harness were highly respected.

This reproduction of a Roman phalera is made of tin-plated brass and bears the effigy of a trotting horse. It is perfectly suited for your own DIY project or as a replacement/spare plate for Roman chest harnesses, for example our product no. 1016676500. Mounting hardware is not included in delivery.

An ideal accessory for Roman re-enactment.
