Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman disc brooch. The outer edge of the brooch is broken, however there are the remains of at least four peripheral lugs. The flat face is divided into four concentric segments. Surrounding the central hollow circle is an solid inner copper-alloy band. The next concentric circle is also hollow and the outer band has a ring of copper-alloy pellets surrounded by red enamel. The back of the brooch has a hinged pin mechanism with two pierced lugs flanking the fragmented remains of an iron pin. Most of the back is covered with iron corrosion from the corroded pin. Opposite the pin mechanism is a small catchplate with a length of 6.4mm and a width of 2.9mm. The surviving diameter is 27.5mm, the length is 33.8mm, and the weight is 6.83g.
