Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of the bow of a Roman brooch with a flattened central rib, probably from a Colchester B-type two-piece brooch like the example illustrated in Crummy, 1983, p.11, Fig.6, No.50, which is dated to c.AD 50-70. Another comparable Colchester type two-piece brooch is illustrated in Hattatt, 2000, p.297, Fig.156, No.1458, and is dated to the 1st century AD.
Since originally recording this fragment, another has turned up in the same field, which seems to correspond in style and corrosion, so is probably from the same brooch. The other fragment (CORN-416387) with wings and upper part of bow intact is a Colchester derivative T-shaped brooch, which could also date from the 2nd century AD.
Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar examples on page 302, Fig.161, Nos.385 & 917 which date from the 1st-2nd century AD. | 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
