A Roman Small Iron Vine Pruning Sickle Blade.

This item which dates to circa 2nd -3rd century AD, is in excellent allover condition. 

It would have been used to remove grapes from the vine and prune the small vines.

The Roman had vineyards in England and we're able to produce wine in quantity...
