Description: | A Roman trumpet brooch dating to the late 1st and second centuries AD. The brooch has a triangular section bow which expands to the trumpet head. Mid bow is the characteristic acanthus leaf moulding which in this case is very stylised and quite worn. Above the acanthus leaf moulding is a single transverse rib; below are two further transverse ribs. On the reverse of the brooch, behind the trumpet head, is the loop to secure the spring and pin. Both spring and pin are missing. The catchplate is triangular and has been repaired by riveting two small sheets of copper alloy to either side of it. The sheets are secured by two circular rivets. The brooch measures 51.52mm in length and 11.14mm in width. It weighs 16.2g. | 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: | 75
