Individual type · partial
Beneficiarius badge is held by National Museum of Transylvanian History. Museum description: Miniature beneficiarius badge made of bronze; made by casting; fragmentary—the upper decoration is missing, as is part of the body; noble greenish patina. It represents a piece of military equipment decorated with the symbols specific to a beneficiarius consularis. It has the shape of a stylized spearhead, with a central rib, which narrows at the top. The ends of the piece were fitted with rivets on the interior, and on the exterior they are decorated with three and four mouldings respectively, each ending in a button. Two small openwork wings, roughly in the shape of a pelta, were positioned between the body and the ends. The museum record gives material recorded as bronze; cast; measurements length: 105 mm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
