Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy 2nd-century Roman disc brooch. The circular brooch has seven plain peripheral lugs emerging from an outer border. Both surfaces of the brooch are flat. The upper face has a lowered field within the border in the centre of which is a large ring which contains an annulet. Within these rings are concentric bands of enamel. A central disc of enamel is missing. The band outside this is blue, while the outer band is segmented (now) green and red, surviving patchily. On the reverse surface is a single, semi-circular pin lug (L.: 4.7mm) at one end and a sub-trapezoidal catchplate at the other (L.: 6.7mm). The pin is broken, although the coil and chord are retained in situ along with the axis bar. The brooch has corroded to a variable green colour. | Subjects: | disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
