Iron rings on the feet of a Roman skeleton?
Hello. I am currently doing research on a skeletal Roman population. Among the around 80 male skeletons, there is a single skeleton who was buried with heavy (1.4 and 1.8 kilos) iron rings around his ankles, which appear to have been forged on while the individual was alive. There is no evidence these rings were ever chained together, but it might be that the sheer weight of them acted as a form of restraint.
I can't find anything similar in the literature. Does anyone have any pointers or ideas on what these rings might be?
Thank you
It is certainly designed to be an impediment to travel and pretty easy to spot, so my guess would be a slave or criminal who had attempted escape.
