Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Roman brooch. The fragment consists of the head and upper part of the bow of a Hod Hill type brooch of 1st century AD date. The head measures 14mm wide and is tubular. It would originally have contained an axis bar, forming a hinge for the now-missing pin. The upper part of the bow measures 8mm wide by 1.5mm thick. It has two transverse ridges, the uppermost of which has a rounded surface, whilst the lower one is sharper. The underside of the bow is flat. The object measures 16mm high and weighs 1.26g. The surface has traces of a silvering or tinning. | 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
