This book presents a little-known and ingenious artefact of the
Roman world: a small puzzle padlock whose font plate bears a face
or 'mask' of 'Celtic' style. The padlocks were designed to secure
small bags or pouches and their distribution extended across Europe
with the majority found in the Danubian region and in the vicinity
of Aquileia. The authors examine the cultural context, the origins
and uses of the padlocks, and provide detailed solutions to the
puzzle mechanisms. The publication provides a fully-illustrated
catalog of the known 156 examples, categorises their types
according to construction and style, and explores the
technicalities of the subject by the process of constructing
replica mask puzzle padlocks.
