Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch. A plate brooch of 2nd or 3rd century AD date. The piece is oval in shape and measures 35.2mm wide by 27.5mm high. The plate is up to 5mm thick and has at its centre a recessed oval cell (now empty) with a raised rim. This cell measures 21.3mm wide by 14.7mm high and approximately 3mm deep. The outer edge of the plate is divided into two by a slightly raised border. The pin does not survive but would have been aligned on the longest axis of the brooch. The reverse of the brooch has a remnant of the pin attachment with, at the opposite end, a damaged catchplate. There are traces of gilding on the upper surface. The object is worn and corroded. It weighs 13.56g. | 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
