Description: | Roman copper-alloy disc brooch of 2nd century AD date. It consists of a damaged circular plate measuring 18.3mm in diameter by 1.3mm thick. The upper surface of the plate is flat and has a slightly raised six pointed star design with a small circular cell at the centre, surrounded by a plain raised border. The star design would originally have been inlaid with enamel, although no trace of this now survives. Protruding from the outside of the plate are several lugs which are now damaged. The reverse of the brooch is flat and plain. There is a heavily corroded pin attachment and a trace of the catchplate which is mostly missing. No pin survives. The overall condition of the piece is poor. It weighs 2.4g. | 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
