Description: | Copper alloy Roman plate brooch dating from the 2nd - 3rd centuries. The brooch is flat and oval in shape. The surface is decorated with a concentric band split into 16 alternating stripes of red and blue enamel, this is divided from a slightly sunken central cell by a copper alloy border. The area at the centre of the brooch probably once held a paste or glass intaglio. On the back of the brooch there is a double pin bar lug and a worn catchplate set on a longitudinal axis. The brooch weighs 5.37g and measures 28.61mm in length, 21.68mm in width and 5.03mm in thickness. A very similar parallel can be seen in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue, Fig. 223, No.636.
