Description: | Copper alloy Roman disc brooch dating to the 2nd century. The brooch has a flat surface and plain edges. It is decorated on the front surface with a six-pointed star at the centre. At the centre and on each point of the star there is a small round pellet and there is a thin raised border around the edge of the brooch. The front surface of the brooch has clearly been decorated with enamel but the colours do not survive very well. The brooch has a single pin lug and a small catchplate set on a longitudinal axis; a small fragment of the pin survives and indicates it was a hinged pin of four turns. The brooch weighs 3.87g and measures 21.15mm in diameter and 6.2mm in thickness. A direct parallel can be seen in Hattatt?s visual catalogue Fig.203, Nos. 518 & 118. | 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
