Description: | Incomplete copper alloy rosette brooch of Roman, first century date. Length 48mm, width 24mm and 3mm thick. Weight...The spring mechanism, pin, catch-plate and part of the semi-enclosed cylinder head ar broken and missing. The bow with its integral. The disc plate and the bow were probably cast unilaterally and then joined by soldering. The disc plate was sub-circular, and when complete, and was at least 25mm in diameter. The high arched bow is dcorated with four flutes. However this decoration is now largely eroded. The centre of the disc, below the front of the bow is decorated with punch marks to form seven rays which radiate from the base of the bow. Slight remains of the catch plate survive on the reverse of the disc plate.
