Description: | Copper alloy worn Roman Headstud brooch dating to the 2nd century. The brooch has a hinge pin mechanism and a circular raised stud at the base of the head (hence the name). At the top of the head there is the remains of an integrally cast head loop. On the bow of the brooch below the stud is a line of small lozenge cells which would have contained coloured enamel (the top cell has the remains of blue enamel intact). The foot of the brooch is missing and only a small amount of the catch plate is still in place. The brooch weighs 7.93g and measures 31.43mm in length, 16.11mm in width and 15.38mm in thickness.
