Description: | Roman copper alloy rosette brooch, incomplete, 1st century AD. The sprung pin is missing; the incomplete spring is held on a copper alloy axis bar and enclosed within the cylindrical wings which are damaged at their ends. The wings appear to have been undecorated. The slightly arched bow is apparently undecorated. At the base of the bow is flat sub-circular 'rosette' feature which is decorated with a semi-circle with longitudinal ridges at the base of the bow. The tapering flat foot is damaged; it is decorated with three longitudinal grooves. On the reverse the catchplate is damaged - it extends up to the base of the rosette. Little of the mid-brown original surface survives, revealing mid-green metal. Length 60.00mm, width across wings 23.35mm, width across central boss 22.30mm, thickness c.10.6mm, weight 13.07g.
