Description: | A 2nd century cast copper alloy disc brooch. The brooch is small and flat. The front surface of the brooch has a raised design which features a raised circle in the centre with a zig-zag circle around it. On the inside edge of each triangle created by the zig-zag there is a raised pellet. The rim is also raised. The brooch would have been enamelled, but this detail can not be seen. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. The catchplate and the single lug have been arranged longitudinally on the reverse of the brooch. Both survive intact. The brooch is heavily corroded. This type of brooch dates from the 2nd century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p344.
