Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy strip bow brooch, missing its pin, lower bow and catchplate. Its incomplete length is 36.3mm and it weighs 2.21g.The head curls backwards to hold the in situ axis bar. There is an incised line flanking each outside edge of the head and another defining the bottom edge of the head, and below which the bow extends in a pronounced arc. The head is flatter than the bow (0.9mm to 1.4mm), largely because the bow had two slightly raised areas either side of a central wide, shallow groove. A groove lies between the raised areas and the outside edge and is decorated with tiny transverse grooves. The foot of the brooch has been lost (ancient break).The brooch has a blue green grey smooth patina.1st century in date. The strip bow evolves from the Aucissa.
