Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy Roman brooch. Upper part of the bow of an Aesica brooch of c. 40-60 AD. The object is curved in profile. The bow expands sideways on each side to knobs, and is decorated with moulded grooves. The central rib is longer and gives the piece a "leaf shape". The top is narrow (4.1mm wide) and contains a central axis bar and, at the centre, a rectangular pin slot. The brooch would therefore have been hinged, rather than sprung. The object measures 23.3mm long by up to 15.6mm wide and 1.2mm thick. The weight is 1.31g. | 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: | 40
