Description: | Incomplete Roman trumpet brooch of Collingwood's R(iv) group, missing its lower bow and catchplate, spring and pin, and ??projecting loop. It is 26mm in incomplete length and has an oval head, measuring 14x10.5mm. Its central button is a non-full acanthus. The head has a worn flange c.1mm wide surrounding it, much of which is missing. To the top is a small 1.5mm long projection, also worn. There is no obvious sign of a break. Hattatt suggests (1987, Brooches of Antiquity) this is to stop the chain loop from moving around too much. The reverse of the head is concave with a loop 2mm wide and 2mm thick crossing the short side. The bow extends from the lower half of the head. It is triangular in section with rounded edges. The acanthus has three leaves top and bottom, the latter of which sees the recent-ish break. 1st/ 2nd century in date. Weighs 4.21g. | 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
