Description: | A Roman copper alloy oval flat brooch with central setting (3rd - 4th century AD). The flat plate is divided into two zones by a reserved metal ridge concentric with the oval outer rim. The central oval field is empty but originally would have contained a setting, probably of glass. There is thick gilding present on the outer oval field and it is further decorated with a stamped motif forming a border. The oval stamp has a central T-shape with a pellet above. On the reverse there are the remains of a single lug and the catchplate. The pin mechanism and the pin itself are missing.Dimensions: length: 20.72mm; width: 15.59mm; thickness: 5.83mmReference: Bayley, J. and Butcher, S. 2004. Roman Brooches in Britain.
