		Undley Bracteate, as it's now known, dates from c.475 AD, around the time when the Angles were invading Britain from their Schleswig-Holstein homelands.
		All of the gold bracteates made between the 5th and 7th centuries were amulets, fashioned with eyelets so that they could be worn around the neck, and created by Germanic migrants.
		The Undley Bracteate is a type A, which means that as well as the inscription it shows the face of a human and is modelled after an antique Roman coin.

		The coins have a helmeted head of the emperor on the obverse and Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf on the reverse, which the maker of this bracteate has conflated.
		The runes are Anglo-Frisian and it is likely that the bracteate was made in Schleswig-Holstein or southern Scandinavia and brought to England by an Anglian settler.
		Short runic inscriptions such as this are typical of the use and extent of writing in the pre-literate Germanic societies.

		Magic runes are often assumed on the gold bracteates, which was worn as decorations and often as protection objects or amulets.
		But the incomprehensibility can also derive from the fact, that the bracteates is imitations of Roman coins; first was copied the Latin inscriptions, often partially incorrect, in next stage was replaced with the runic alike signs and finally with the true runes, however without sense, which in another viewers went over to magic runes.

		With their skillful workmanship and allusions to the Roman/Byzantine world, gold bracteates conveyed both the sophisticated taste and high social status of their owners, who wore them as fine jewelry and hoarded them as treasure.
