Description: | A copper alloy Thealby Mine type Roman brooch. The brooch is 45.8mm long, 16.1mm wide and 15.7mm thick. There is reel decoration on the wings. The bow has a raised central spine on the top half. Rounded foot with a moulded collar above. Integral head loop with two incised transverse lines below. There is a tubular housing behind the wings with a slot for the hinged pin which is missing. The catchplate mostly survives but the turnover is missing. The brooch has a deep green glossy patina. Thealby Mine brooches are usually dated to the second century and can be considered to be a derivative of a Headstud brooch.
