Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped brooch with very thin but extant iron pin and part of catch plate remaining. The copper alloy hinge within the tubular wings has also survived and still holds the pin in place. Beside and below the pin loop, at the back of the hinge, there are small patches of iron corrosion product. The brooch itself is corroded and water-worn, but there appears to be faint lines of punched dots along the wings of the brooch and on the head of the bow. The long bow starts off semi-circular, in section, and then becomes more circular, in section, as it tapers to a point at its foot.Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar example on page 302, Fig.161, No.916, which is dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD.Carlyon (1987) illustrates a similar example in the Carvossa Brooch Report by Sarnia Butcher on page 125, Fig.9, No.25, which is dated to the second century.
