Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating from 75-175 AD. The trumpet head and the upper part of the bow has broken off. Therefore the spring and pin are missing. The central moulding, which does not extend to the back of the brooch, consists of three petals either side of a moulded ridge with two parallel moulded ridges either side of the central moulding. Known as acanthus decoration. The lower bow has a central arris and has two longitudinal lines. The foot knob has a collar and flares out to the base. The catchplate has a turn over edge, but it is damaged and pitted.
