Description: | Enamelled Roman disc brooch. The disc has twelve peripheral lugs, now worn and abraded. The enamel pattern is a vertical strip through the centre of the brooch with a central bronze dot. The colour of the enamel has been lost to corrosion but an identical brooch in Hattatt's 'Brooches of Antiquity' (1987), No.1040, has a vertical strip of red enamel. To either side is a small green semicircle within a crescent of blue. The spring is positioned between two lugs on the back, the pin is missing, the catchplate is denuded.
