Description: | Roman brooch of the Hod Hill type. It is made of copper alloy and there appears to be traces of tinning or silvering on the surface. The head is plain, with a notch halfway where the pin would have been (now lost). There is a tansverse moulding below this and the bow is decorated with wide lateral lugs towards the middle. Between the lugs is a studded band between two grooved bands. Below this are two transverse mouldings and towards the foot a grooved triangle. A small amount of the catchplate remains. It dates to the 1st century AD and this type of brooch is often found on military sites. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
