Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch. Bow/plate hybrid brooch probably dating from the 1st or 2nd century AD. The brooch has a central rectangular plate, which would originally have been enamelled, and is decorated with a single knop at each end. This section measures 26.5mm wide by 9.5mm high. A bow of sub-triangular section extends underneath the plate section. It measures 7mm wide by 4mm thick. A remnant above the plate suggests that a similar bow extended upwards also. There is a corroded iron attachment on the reverse of the plate, which may be part of a hinge or catchplate. Overall, the piece measures 29.3mm high and weighs 6.75g. | 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: | 50
