According to experts, the bronze hand is seen as a tribute to the war god after the Romans made a bloody invasion of England in 209-210.

About 50,000 Roman soldiers led by Septimius Severus emperor carried out a large-scale military campaign aimed at Britain.

Historian Simon Elliott said the invasion of the Romans was almost certainly one of the largest and most brutal military campaigns in British history.

The copper hands were buried underground immediately after the Romans' battle ended in British territory. Archaeologists believe that this is part of the religious ritual of Roman civilization to mark the completion of the construction of the temple for the war god Jupiter Dolichenus.

The God of War Jupiter Dolichenus is highly revered by the Roman army. These bronze hands like this are often placed atop a pillar by ancient Romans. Hands are used to bless or to worship in Roman religious rituals.
