Description: | Head and part of bow of a Roman crossbow brooch. The brooch has three large, six-sided knobs, and a triangular-sectioned, hollow-backed bow. There is a worn break just below the junction of the bow and arms. The hinge and part of the pin survive. The large size and form of this brooch suggest a late example of the Crossbow type, probably dating to the 2nd half of the 4th century AD. | Subjects: | Crossbow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
