Description: | Copper alloy Roman disc brooch, 2nd century in date.The brooch appears to be made of a circular disc with a raised section set on top. The back of the brooch is flat, the front is decorated. The decoration consists of a central circular concave boss which could have been filled with either enamel or a stone but is now empty. Around this is a beaded circle, surrounded by a raised edge. There is a small flat lip on the very outside edge which has a twisted rope design. This is an unusual example, it does not seem to have been cast as the top, raised section is hollow. The brooch is circular in plan and has been squashed. The edges are broken and irregular. It is not complete- the pin is missing. The pin was hinged and the hinge mechanism is still present.
