    Default Roman Keys & Locks

    I couldn't help notice that while the thread says Roman keys and locks you don't actually have any pictures of locks. I happen to have two Roman padlocks in my collection and am attaching pictures below. Neither lock is functional but it is possible to figure out how they worked. Interestingly, both have a secret latch that must be pivoted out of the way before the keyhole would be exposed. One male, one female. BBE.
