Round Tuit Detail - ROMAN VERSION
 Main
Description
The original Roman Round Tuit is a bronze disk, approximately
10 inches (25 centimetres) in diameter and a half inch (1.2 centimetres)
thick.
The condition of the Round Tuit is excellent, considering
its age, but it does show some surface blemishes and damage.
Details - Outer to Inner
 The outer
rim of the disk consists of a chequered pattern with a row of
inward pointing spikes. Then follows a repeat pattern of astrological
symbols, followed by a row of outward pointing spikes.
|
 The next
inward ring consists of Roman numerals followed by a ring of
raised circles.
|
|
The inner portion of the design consists of a central sun
with a representation of the heavens, showing various phases
of the moon and a myriad of stars. Some of the moon and star
symbols have Greek letters associated with them - their meanings
are still being interpreted.
