Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy Roman sandal-sole type plate brooch, probably dating from the 2nd century AD. The plate is flat on top and takes the form of the sole of a sandal with a rounded heel; the toe end is missing. The heel has a narrow raised border outlining a recessed containg seven raised circular 'nails'. There is no evidence of enamel in this recessed area although parallels suggest it would have contained it. An incomplete small circular loop extends from the 'heel' in the same plane as the plate and would have probably linked the brooch to a second similar one. On the back at the 'heel' end are two raised semi circular lugs containing a fragment of a hinged pin. The brooch is similar to R. Hattatt's Visual Catalogue (2000) page 358, No.606.
