Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman disc brooch with peripheral lugs. This brooch is circular in plan with ten sub-circular lugs around its circumference. It has a diameter of 23.12mm, is 1.62mm thick and weighs 3.02g. Two raised, concentric lines divide the body of the brooch into a central disc surrounded by a double border. These areas were filled with enamel, but only red enamel survives in the inner border and no enamel survives in the other two zones. The reverse of the brooch has two pin bar lugs between which are the fragmentary remains of the coil of the copper alloy pin. The catchplate is fragmentary. The patina of the object is an even mid green to front and back with some patches of lighter green, especially on the raised areas and lugs. Brooches of this type date from the mid 1st to late 2nd century AD. Near parallels of a similar size can be seen in Hattatt 1985, figure 61.
