Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy T-shape brooch c. 1st-2nd century AD.The brooch measures 35mm in length and is 14mm across the wingspan, weighing 7.1g. It is missing the pin and it appears that both sides of the wings have been damaged. The hanging loop has been broken and squashed to the left hand side of the brooch. On the front of the wings there are two vertically incised lines running next to where the bow meets the wings. The bow extends away in a D-shape cross section and above the top bend there are two circles one inside the other. The central circle is solid. The bow itself has a central ridge and has a vertical incised line running alongside this central ridge on both sides. The foot is preceded by two raised lateral lines and then it widens to 7mm with a further two raised lateral lines upon it. The catch plate is very worn and has been curved over itself. The brooch has a green and fairly smooth patina. Cf. Hattatt 1989, pg 302-4.
