Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch. Colchester two-piece type brooch of 1st C. AD date. The object consists of the wings, intact spring, head, and upper part of the bow. The wings measure 16.2mm wide by 4mm high. They are undecorated on the display side and recessed on the reverse. The spring is fully intact but slightly warped. It has three coils of copper-alloy wire on each side of a central lug. The spring is held in place by a section of the wire which sits horizontally on top of the coils and passes through a lug on the head of the brooch. This lug is attached to a vertical rib which extends down the head and appears to die out midway down the bow. The remaining part of the bow measures 20mm long by 4.1mm wide at the top, tapering to 1.8mm wide at the point where it is broken off. It is 1.2mm thick and is flat on both sides. The total dimensions are 25mm high by 16.2mm wide. The weight = 3.02g. | 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: | 1
