Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman disc brooch. The outer edge of the brooch is broken, however there are the remains of at least four peripheral lugs. There may have been more lugs around the edge though it is difficult to know from what remains. The flat face is divided into four concentric segments. Surrounding the central hollow circle is an inner copper-alloy band. The next concentric circle is also hollow and may have once contained enamel. The outer band is hollow and has a ring of copper-alloy pellets. The back of the brooch has an incomplete hinged pin mechanism. Between the two broken pierced lugs are the remains of an iron pin. Most of the pin and the catchplate opposite the pin mechanism are missing. The surviving diameter is 29.6mm, the thickness is 2.4mm and the weight is 5.38g. | 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
