Description: | Copper alloy Roman Head-Stud brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. The brooch has a hinge mechanism with part of the pin surviving and tubular (cylindrical) T-shaped wings. The central stud at the head end of the brooch is circular with no surviving evidence of enamelling on the brooch. A small length of silver twisted wire decoration survives which would have wrapped around the bow immediately above the stud at the head of the brooch, the groove where this wire would have continued can be seen and this decoration may have occured elsewhere on the brooch. The bow appears to be undecorated and the foot has end-profiled moulding. Part of the catchplate survives at the foot end of the brooch. The brooch weighs 13.50g, measurment across the wings is 25.44mm, measurment from the head to the foot is 40.85mm and measurment of the bow is 21.24mm. | 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
