Description: | A circular, gilded copper alloy, Roman conical disc brooch dating from c. 100-250AD. There is a central raised domed boss with a flat top surrounded by a ropework border and a shallow groove. The outer rim of the brooch is decorated with punched double concentric rings. Most of the gilding remains in place. Part of the spring, the pin lug and the catch plate remain in situ, but the pin is missing. The copper alloy has some bright green corrosion. A similar example can be seen in Hattat??s Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches, No. 1073, p.346. | Subjects: | conical disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
