I tease you not ;-) ) It was a Newstead backplate from a late context at Carlisle. Much muttering of 'residual' at the time (more interesting for its hinge than its context) but it apparently came from 'an early 4th century' deposit in the intervallum area beneath Tullie House museum (an extension added in 1989). It assumed a new significance in the light of the León finds.
