Roman phalera in tinned brass

This Roman Phalera is similar to the originals, mounted on a leather strap frame that is applied like a vest and fastens at the back with straps and buckles. At the level of the clavicles, two thin straps are attached to which a red woolen scarf, the Focale, will be attached. In the lower rings of the Focale two tin torcs are hooked, also with military decoration.

A phalerae was a disc carved in gold, silver, or bronze that Roman soldiers wore on their breastplates during parades and awarded as a kind of medal. Roman military units could also receive phalerae for distinguished conduct in action. These awards were often mounted on the staff of the unit's banners.
