Slave Identification Collar
Although probably not worn by all slaves, only those thought likely to make a break for it, collars such as these identify the slave and owner and sometimes promise a reward for return.
In this case, the text promises a reward of one solidus (gold coin) to anyone returning the fugitive to his/her master Zonino. Most likely a slave collar, but some have suggested that it could also be an animal collar.
In the Baths of Diocletian section of the National Museum of Rome.
