Description: | Cast cu-alloy Roman brooch, probably of Polden Hill Type, dating from the late 1st-2nd century (ca. AD75-175). The brooch is almost complete with only the spring, axis bar and pin missing. Foot and catch plate as well as bow, head and spring cover are still intact. The brooch displays the characteristing spring system with the axis bar passing through the coils and held in place with a pierced plate at the end of the wings. The chord was probably secured with a rearward-facing hook (broken off). The bow is not round, but fairly flat with an almost acute angle just above the sping cover. The edges of spring cover and bow are decorated with a simple incised line. | Subjects: | Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
