Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch probably with a double pierced lug spring attachment (see notes, below), although it is difficult to establish its type with any certainty. At the head extant fragments of the spring chord and axis bar appear appear to be lodged within the double pierced lug behind the head. The wings appear convex and curved and extend for approximately 10mm on either side of the head. The pin has been lost. The bow tapers from a width of 5mm to 2mm at the foot and is decorated with a median ridge running down its length. There appears to be a transverse notch at the foot delineating a knob. The catchplate for 16mm. Brooches of this type date from 50-70 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: | 50
