Description: | The object is a fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch. What remains of the brooch is the lower portion of the bow. The bow is broken approximately at the mid point. In profile, the bow is straight. The bow is semi-circular in section. The bow is undecorated. The bow foot is slightly bulbous. On the reverse of the bow is a complete solid catchplate. The surface of the brooch is abraded and slightly pitted. There are traces of a mid grey coloured patina. The brooch measures 27.31mm long, 4.45mm wide the bow, and weighs 2.6g. The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, but the type is uncertain. It probably dates to the first to second centuries.
