Thanks very interesting, date is estimated 3rd to 2nd century... Umm the author says its a "Leather" Spolos, my view is as its appears wrapped around the body, I would think its something stiff but flexible and unlikely to be bronze as there are no hindges where you might expect, so could be stiff "Rawhide", "Leather" or stiffened Linen(but would need to be fairly rigid)...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
