Dimensions: H: 37.40 mm ± W: 09.50 mm ± Weight: 1.76 g This Ancient Roman metal-alloy fishhook (hamus piscatorius) preserves the characteristic elongated shank and strongly recurved hook associated with fishing equipment used throughout the Roman world. Fishing formed an important part of everyday subsistence and commerce, and hooks of varying dimensions were employed in both coastal and inland waters. The object displays an archaeological surface with patination, mineral deposits and age-related wear. A small perforation near the upper part of the shank, possibly added at a later stage, allows the ancient implement to be worn today as a pendant. This secondary adaptation adds another chapter to the object’s vita while preserving its distinctive original hamus form. Information The offered object was acquired in 2026 through an auction associated with A.N. Auction House in Germany and was transferred to us in 2026 by its previous owner, N.A., based in the Netherlands The object has been documented using high-resolution equipment; no intervention has been made to its form or structural integrity, and only limited color-balance adjustment has been applied. Upon request, museum-standard technical photographs may be provided during the auction; if requested prior to shipment, an expert report and a signed ownership document issued in the buyer’s name can be supplied in PDF format within 3–5 business days Statements regarding dating, function, symbolic interpretation, and material identification represent high-probability academic assessments based on typological comparisons, parallels in museum collections, and expert opinion; definitive conclusions require advanced laboratory analysis and fall outside the scope of the platform’s sales process. Prospective buyers are advised to evaluate the images in conjunction with the stated measurements, as high-resolution photography may influence perceived scale. Throughout the presentation and sales process, principles of scholarly consistency, transparency, and good faith are observed, and no object is knowingly offered as a copy or imitation. During photography, a warm-toned lighting setup reminiscent of museum display illumination was used to emphasize the object's surface details and historic character in a natural manner.
