Abstract/Summary

This short note presents a medieval pilgrim badge that has been fully identified six years after its initial discovery and recording. The badge is a rare survival from the cult centre of St John Lateran in Rome - the first recorded by the PAS, and one of only three so far traced in England. Like other broadly 13th-century badges originating in Rome, it has lost its attachment loops; this point is further discussed in relation to other continental badges found in England.
