Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Langton Down brooch. The tubular, hollow wings have a circular cross section. They are 20.52mm wide and 7.59mm thick. The seperate spring encased within the wings and a small part of the pin extends out from a vertical gap at the centre of the reverse of the wings. The wings are decorated with a rectangle, comprised of three grooves of differing thicknesses. The bow is straight, with the wings set back. The bow has a worn break across its base, with a surviving length of 16.78mm long. The bow has a sub-rectangular cross-section and is 8.95mm wide and 1.94mm thick. The top of the bow is semi-circular, with a semi-circular moulded ridge where it joins the wings. The bow is decorated with six ridges running down its length. There is no catchplate on the reverse, as the break is above where the catch would have been located. The brooch has an even mid green patina. The surviving section of the brooch is 19.85mm long and weighs 5.52 grams. Langton Down brooches date from the 1st century AD, circa 40 to 70 AD. | 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
