Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy Hod Hill brooch without side lugs, missing part of the wings and the shank of the pin, and the lower bow and catchplate. It measures 28.89mm in incomplete length and weighs 5.13g.The wings (10.86mm wide) roll forwards to hold the axis bar in place. The head extends forwards below this, before extending into a bow with a pronounced curve.The top of the bow consists of three ribs, narrowing from 8.72mm to 7.84mm wide. Below this is a lozenge-shape, widening from 4.64mm to max.9.09mm. At this point the brooch also becomes thicked and D-shaped in section, max. 4.69mm. The lower narrower end is however replaced with two ribs 6.21mm wide and the top of the catchplate to the reverse. The brooch is broken beyond this point.The brooch is clearly copying Aucissa influences with its curving bow. 1st century.
