Description: | A copper-alloy Roman Aucissa derivative, Hod Hill brooch. Only the hinged head and the upper portion of the bow remain. The head has a pin slot between the two hinges. One of the hinges is bent open, the other appears to retain a portion of the pin. The upper bow is decorated with three lateral ridges. There are no side knops as there are on many Hod Hill brooches, but some other examples without side knops are illustrated in Hattatt (1989, 63; 1498-1501). The head is 14.8 mm wide and the incomplete brooch measures 27.4 mm in length. Hod Hill brooches are dated in Britain from around 40 to 60 AD.
