Description: | A Roman copper-alloy brooch. Disc brooch of probable mid 1st to 2nd century AD date. The object is simple in form, consisting of a flat circular plate 23.6mm in diameter by 1.1mm thick. There is no decoration, but a single small pierced hole close to the outer edge may have served as a point of attachment for a chain. On the reverse the hinge consists of two parallel lugs with a gap in between for the now-missing pin. A corroded iron axis bar can, however, be seen. The catchplate is located at the opposite side of the brooch and is badly damaged. The brooch is slightly corroded around the edges. It weighs 4.33g.
