Description: | Incomplete Roman Hod Hill brooch with side lugs. Dating from the 1st century AD. The rolled over hinge is broken, with the axis bar and pin missing. The sub-rectangular bow has worn edges, with a worn side knob and a missing side knob from the other side. These knobs are positioned at the centre of the bow. The wide, rectangular bow is decorated with four vertical mouldings. Above and below the bow are two parallel horizontal mouldings bordering a slightly depressed area. The foot is narrow and extremely worn, with a damaged and extremely worn terminal knob. There is an integrally cast catchplate on the reverse of the foot, which is extremely worn. The brooch is 26.21mm long, has maximum width of 15.48mm and a maximum thickness of 6.91, taking into account the arch of the bow. The thickness of the metal is 1.98mm, increasing to 3.77mm to accommodate the catchplate.
This brooch is similar to Hattatt p322, fig181, no52. | 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: | 40
