Description: | Roman copper alloy brooch, 29.8mm long, 7.4mm wide and 9.5mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 2.61 grams. It is rectangular in form and consists of a semi-circular shaft which is decorated with a central, large semi-circular 'collar' which protrudes outwards as well as upwards. This is flanked by two smaller semi-circular collars. At each end there is a circular plate, 6mm in diameter. These are filled with traces of blue enamel and have a small sub circular protrusion on their outer side, on the same alignment as the shaft. The reverse of one plate holds the remains of the catchplate, which is sub rectangular and has a slight curve remaining. The pin, which is now missing, was held in place by the two semi-circular lugs on the other plate. The brooch is similar, but simpler than example 1590 in Fig.212 of Hattatt's Ancient brooches.
