Description: | A good example of a Roman copper alloy T - shape brooch. This is present in britain from the mid first century A.D. to the mid second century A.D. Like most T - shape brooches (Hattatt, 1982; 71 - 73), the specimen displays certain characteristics - a gently tapering bow and wide wings which are tubular.The wings are decorated with a single vertically running raised step on the anterior only. These wings have a diameter of 3.7mm and the head is 21.58mm wide. The top of the bow is decorated with an inverted triangle, two sides of which have small lines which have been cut into the fabric of the metal protruding from them. The plain part of the bow is 2mm thick. The catchplate starts in the middle of the bow and is fully present. The foot is separated from the bow by a single raised rib running horizontally across the brooch 3.89mm from the bottom and the base of the foot is flat. The pin is still present.
