Description: | A copper-alloy disc brooch. This brooch is likely to be Roman and probably dates to the 2nd century AD. The brooch is 21 mm in diameter and is decorated with a design of intercrossing lines which divides the surface into six triangles. Within each of these triangles is a cicular pellet. These lines and pellets are all in relief, as is a ridge which follows the perimeter of the brooch. Roman disc brooches were often enammelled, and some faint traces of yellow enammel can just be discerned in the triangular sections of the design. The brooch has been damaged and portions of the edge are missing. The brooch is also missing its pin, although the pin lug and catch plate remain. The reverse is undecorated. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 100
