Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy T-shape plate-headed brooch, c. 2nd century AD.The brooch measures 28mm in length and is 25mm across the wingspan, weighing 5.9g. It is missing the pin, the hanging loop, roughly two thirds if the bow and the catch plate. It has also been broken on the left hand side of the wings (when looking at the front) which appears to be an old break. The brooch is undecorated apart from small vertically incised lines which run around the top edge of the head plate. The wings are circular and enclosed, and would have formed part of the hinge mechanism. The patina is smooth and shiny. Cf. Hattatt 1989, pg 305, no. 407.
