Description: | A copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch. The brooch is missing part of the lower bow and foot, as well as the catch plate. The central acanthus moulding is plain, but fairly bold and disc-shaped. The head still contains the hinge mechanism, however the majority of the pin has been broken in antiquity. The brooch is plain and has a light green, brown patina all over. Hattatt dates this type to the 1st and 2nd century AD. For similar styles, see 'A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt's ancient brooches', p.328-9. This example is 46.1mm long, 22mm wide and 13.47mm thick.
