Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman brooch. Plate brooch probably dating from the 2nd century AD. The plate is oval in shape and measures 30.5mm wide by 26.5mm high and 1.5mm thick. It has a raised border around its outer edge and an inner raised border which creates a central cell (now empty). The space between the two borders retains traces of a light green enamel. On the reverse the pin was aligned on the long axis of the brooch. The pin attachment consists of a single lug which projects at a right angle and is aligned on the same axis as the brooch. It contains a central hole in which is located a remnant of the pin. The catchplate also projects at a right angle from the plate but is aligned vertically to the brooch. It is damaged and incomplete. The object weighs 8.66g. | 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
