Roman Lewis pins

A simpler form of three-legged lewis in which, instead of a shackle and pin, the outer legs are hooked to take a sling is, apparently, in the museum in Passau (illustrated in Peter Hill, The Construction of Hadrian's Wall, Stroud: Tempus Publishing Ltd, 2006, p.84, fig.49).

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
