Description: | Roman cast copper-alloy brooch, possibly a knee brooch. Brooch has sub-rectangular head with cylindrical wings and capped ends. It has a semi-circular sectioned bow, is C-shaped in profile and has a straight leg. There is no foot knob. There are pairs of transverse grooved lines at the top and bottom of the straight leg, at the top and bottom of the bow, at the bottom of the rectangular head, and there is a single transverse grooved line at the top of the head. The back is plain and the catchplate has survived but the curl is missing. There is also no spring (although the wings are full of corrosion) or pin. The break edges are worn. The original surface has an even green patina, but it is pitted and abraded. It measures 33.32mm long, 16.68mm wide, 5.42mm thick and weighs 6.77g. Hattatt, R. 1982.
