Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman brooch. This fragment represents part of the foot and catchplate from a 1st century Roman bow brooch. What remains is the straight foot section that would have run from the bow, and an almost complete catchplate minus its curl, with a single subtriangular perforation. The foot ends complete without a foot knob and though the surface of the fragment is heavily abraded, it is just possible to see a centrally raised rib running along the foot. The fragment is heavily abraded with a rough, buff coloured surface. The break surfaces are equally rough and similarly coloured suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. It is 30.47mm long, 4.88mm wide across the foot, 4.46mm wide across the foot, 10.34mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 3.10g.
