Description: | A copper alloy Roman plate brooch. It is an octagonal 'disc', with small rounded terminal knops on 7 of the corners. There is no top loop, and the reverse has the remains of a pair of pierced lugs but the pin and catch plate are missing.
The brooch has a central dome with small knob in the middle of a cinquefoil, each rounded cell of which contains yellow enamel. This central device is surrounded by a groove, and a border of thirteen irregular-sized semi-circles, some of which still have traces of yellow enamel. It is 36.03mm wide and weighs 10.74g.
It is a 2nd century type, for which parallels may be seen in Hattatt 1989, on p.350. | 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
