Description: | A copper-alloy bow brooch of the Langton Down variety. The brooch's spring and pin are missing. The wings however, are semi-cylindrical to contain the absent spring. The brooch is 15.4 mm wide at the wings. The bow is broken, but its remains measure 23 mm in length. The bow is worn at the break, so it is likely that this break occurred in antiquity. The obverse of the bow is decorated with five ridges. The reverse of the bow is undecorated. The brooch is Roman and dates to the middle of the first century AD, from around the time of the Roman conquest of Britain. Similar examples are illustrated in Hattat (1985, 37). | 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: | 40
