Description: | A probable cast copper alloy Roman brooch. Only a fragment of the brooch remains, and it is in poor, abraded condition. The upper portion of the bow remains, which is curved in profile. The bow is slender in section and decorated with two wide vertical grooves with a narrowed portion which is decorated with horizontal grooves and ridges. Either terminal of the bow is broken, but not recently. The surface of the brooch is pitted, but has a heavy brown coloured patina. The brooch measures 21.07mm long and 9.65mm wide. It weighs 1.5g.
The brooch is possibly a Hod Hill type, which dates to the mid to late 1st century (Bayley and Butcher, 2004 Roman Brooches in Britain: A technological and Typological Study Based on the Richborough Collection Society of Antiquaries p. 153). | Subjects: | Hod Hill - possibly | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
