The article examines the Vermand Treasure, which pertains to a small group of objects, primarily of gilded silver, from a military burial in northern France dating from the second half of the fourth century A.D. Based on further analyses, the design and ornament of the Vermand Treasure belongs to the tradition of provincial Roman military garniture because of its use of precious metals and the high quality of its execution. Benoni Lelaurian, an a professional excavator, discovered the Vermand Treasure from the cemetery neart the modern village of Vermand, in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It was noted that the Vermand was a castra hiberna during the Roman times within the network of provincial border defenses and a glass-production center.
