Description: | Copper-alloy Roman brooch. Lozenge-shaped plate brooch of probable 2nd C. AD date. The brooch is simple in design, consisting of a flat and undecorated plate measuring 25.9mm high by 21mm wide (damaged width) and 0.3mm thick. Approximately one quarter of the original plate has been lost due to post-depositional damage. On the reverse the pin attachment and catchplate survive largely intact. They are located at opposing corners of the brooch. The pin attachment is formed of two integral rectangular plates (one damaged) with a gap in the middle. Traces of an iron pin can be seen in the central hole of the undamaged plate. At the other end the catchplate protrudes slightly from the outer edge of the lozenge plate, forming a lug. It is sub-rectangular in shape and is also slightly damaged. The plate is corroded and encrusted. The piece weighs 1.89g.
