Description: | Copper alloy plate brooch. Missing pin, damaged lugs and catchplate, entire margin damaged, missing any applique. The pin was hinged between two close set pierced lugs; a slight rib on the flat back of the plate runs from the lugs to the catchplate. The plate is thin (c. 0.6mm) and survives as a rough pear shape, with a smooth plain upper face. It is pierced in the middle of the wider part (towards the pin hinge) by a single circular hole, 0.5mm diameter. Surviving length 40mm, surviving width 16mm. This is certainly Roman, and probably an early plate type - perhaps originally of a shape related to Hattatt nos 510, 1009, 509 and with a decorative applique?
