Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman brooch dating to the 1st century. The brooch is a Hod Hill type and a similar parallel can be seen in Hattatts 'Ancietn Brooches and other Artefacts' Fig.179, P.320, Nos.313 & 1501. The brooch has a rolled head that would have originally contained a pin bar and hinged pin. The pin does not survive but there is a slot in the head where it would have been. The top half of the bow has 2 deep decorative grooves running horizontally; these end just over halfway down the bow. The bow tapers to a small moulded foot. A small triangular catch plate survives on the reverse of the foot. The brooch measures 44.8mm in length, 12.9mm in width and 8.9mm in thickness.
