Description: | Roman copper alloy disc brooch, 22mm in diameter and 2mm thick (6mm at catchplate). The object is in fair condition with a green/brown patina and weighs 3.64grams. The brooch is decorated with an outer raised border with a further inner border, 2mm in from the edge. This is filled with what is now red enamel. Inside this are four raised semi-circles which are arranged so they form a cross motif, two are filled with red enamel and one with blue, the last is empty but presumably was originally blue as well. There is a raised circle inside the 'cross' 2mm in diameter. Its reverse has traces of a catchplate and a semi-circular lug, but no pin remains. The brooch matches fig.1137, page 206 in Hattatt's ancient brooches
