Description: | Fragment of a Roman cast copper alloy brooch (43-410 AD). The fragment consists of an incomplete catchplate from a Roman brooch. The trapezoidal catchplate has a rectangular section and has been cast with two openwork holes, a sub-oval one at the upper edge and a larger circular one below. The catchplate is badly worn and has a dark brown patina. It measures 22.7mm long, 10.7mm wide and 2.8mm thick. It weighs 1.46 grams. Catchplates such as these were used to hold the pin on a number of different styles of Roman brooches, and the type is therefore impossible to narrow down.
