Description: | Roman copper alloy disc brooch, dating from the 2nd-early 3rd century AD. The plate is recessed for enamel, with a raised outer border and a reserved ornament consisting of a large central spot surrounded by an uinverted sexfoil with lobes on the cusps. The inner field around the central spot is inlaid with red enamel which survives well and the outer field is inlaid in what appears to be black enamel. It has the remains of a bilateral spring mounted on a single pierced plate; the pin is missing and there is a trace of the catchplate. It has a diameter of 26mm.
This is a reasonably common form of disc brooches and two examples are known from excavations at Stonea, Cambs (Mackreth 1996, 304 no. 18 fig. 94; 320 no. 69 fig. 98). It is identical to Hattatt 118, fig. 203. | 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
