Description: | A cast copper alloy roman brooch. This brooch is lozenge shaped and has two decorative moulded knops on opposite corners. The lozenge has a raised border inscribed with transverse lines. Inside this is another border surrounding a lozenge shaped void, which would probably once have contained red enamel: tiny traces of this remain. At the centre of the void is a circular raised border containing an orangey red enamel inlay. This is worn. The reverse is undecorated. The catch plate survives, as does one of the twin lugs (the break where the second is missing is worn). The twin lug and the catch plate have been aligned longitudinally across the reverse of the brooch, along the longest axis. The pin is missing. The metal has a light greyish-green colour. This type of brooch dates from the 2nd century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, pp348, Fig. 207.
