Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating from 75-175 AD. Above the head there is a circular loop which forms the upper part of the pin mechanism, there is a collar wrapped around the loop, which has two incised parallel lines drawn on the front. The slightly lop-sided hinged mechanism for holding the pin also survives behind the head. The pin no longer survives. The upper bow is oval in section and has three collars around it at the junction where it meets the bow decoration. The main decorative feature is an undecorated wide collar that extends right the way around the bow, with three lobes above and below it. There are three further collars below this. The lower bow has a central arris, which extends down to the foot, giving the bow a triangular section. The foot knob has three small rings around it and a wide collar and flares out to the base. The catchplate has a turn over edge. A similar brooch can be seen in Hattatt, p328, Fig: 187.
