Description: | Copper alloy Roman Aucissa brooch dating to the 1st century. The brooch is quite worn and is cast into a fine sheet of metal. The head of the brooch is rolled to form the pin bar attachment although it has been damaged on this example. The bow has a central raised rib running horizontally down the front surface which was probably decorated with enamel. The bow tapers slightly towards the foot and has a decorative terminal eventually ending in a sharp point where the foot has corroded and worn away. The catchplate does not survive. The brooch weighs 1.14g and measures 41.1mm in length, 7.15mm in width and approximately 12mm in thickness. | 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: | 1
