Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch (0-100 AD). The fragment consists of the catchplate from the reverse of a copper alloy brooch. The catchplate would have held the pin at the base of the brooch. This fragment has a long shaft with a lozenge-shaped projection at the foot that would have held the pin in place. At the upper edge, the lozenge-shape curves away from the shaft, before the outer edge angles it back towards the body of the brooch. The catchplate has a bright olive-green surface patina. The catchplate measures 24.5mm long, 10.1mm wide and 3.0mm thick. It weighs 1.82 grams.
