Description: | An incomplete Penannular brooch of Fowler type C. It has a sub-circular frame in plan, with a gap. The two terminals are curled back over the frame, in one case forming a ?C? shape, the other a tight sub-?G? shape. The frame is rectangular in section. The pin is missing. The surface of the brooch has a shiny dark grey/green patina. It measures 16.05mm long, 16mm wide and 4.68mm thick. The brooch weighs 1.17g.
The brooch is likely to be dated to the late Iron Age to early Roman periods. Fowler (1960 ?The Origins and Development of the Penannular Brooch in Europe? Proceedings of the Prehistoric society Vol. 26) discusses a group of brooches from the Continent suggesting they were worn by the Roman military. The Saalburg
Example most closely parallels the recorded example. | 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
