Description: | Roman copper alloy disc brooch, probably of 2nd century AD date. The brooch face is flat with no lugs around the edge. The rear is also flat, with the catch-plate against one edge and the spring against the other. The catch-plate has a concave inner edge and the spring is open and secured by two and an iron axis bar. The front face is decorated with a series of raised concentric circles containing the remnants of degraded enamel. The outer edge has a raised circle, with an internal repeating scallop border. A second thin raised concentric circle defines another panel containing twenty three raised circular dots, surrounded with patches of degraded enamel. A third inner circle is defined by a wide raised border, with the central boss now missing.
