Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch, which looks at first to be a composite plate brooch, like an example illustrated in Hattatt (2000) on page 354, Fig.213, No.1128. But the curvature of what remains of the bow, above and below the disc, suggests it is more likely part of a trumpet derivative brooch, such as one illustrated in Hattatt on page 330, Fig.189, No.987, or a fantail brooch, illustrated on page 315, Fig.174, No.315, which are both dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD. There is evidence that the areas on the disc, between the two raised concentric rings and central dot, and within them, were once enamelled. Part of the catchplate also survives on the tapering bow below the disc. The length of the catchplate also lends weight to the theory that this is not a plate brooch.
