Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester Two-Piece brooch. Only the lower portion of the bow remains of the brooch, the break on the bow is a recent break. The bow is broken as the catchplate starts on the reverse. The lower portion of the bow is undecorated. In profile, the bow is straight and is sub-circular in section, with an integral complete solid catchplate protruding from the reverse. The bow tapers in width towards a simplistic, slightly bulbous foot. The surface of the brooch has a matte mottled mid green coloured surface with traces of a mid green patina. The brooch measures 29.74mm long and 4.21mm wide across the bow, and weighs 3.9g. The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, but the type is uncertain, but probably dates to the first to second centuries (Worrell, S. 2007 'Roman Brooch Timeline' North-West PAS Newsletter).
