Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating to the 2nd century. The brooch has the distinctive flared trumpet head with a central lug on the back for the spring pin mechanism, although this does not survive. The brooch tapers to a section of decorative moulding at the waist which does not go around the back of the bow (this is likely to be acanthus moulding but is corroded so the detail is lost). Below this the brooch has broken away. The fragment weighs 7.9g and measures 32.6mm in length and 12.65mm in thickness. | 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
