Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy Roman rosette or thistle brooch. This style of brooch developed from the earlier Langton Down style and dates to the first century. Part of the cylinder shaped wings survive, which would have originally housed the spring-pin mechanism. The top part of the bow also survives; this is flat with grooves and ribs (sometimes known as reeding) running vertically down it's front surface. At the end of this part, the bow curves round at a right angle and would have originally been attached to a circular or lozenge shaped plate. Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue page 308, Fig.167, Nos. 278 & 1470. The brooch weighs 6.05g and measures 27.73mm in length and 23.34mm in width. | 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
