Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The majority of the bow remains. The bow is broken at the upper edge, and this is probably a recent break as the condition of the break?s surface does not match the unbroken surfaces of the brooch. In profile, the bow is concave at the front face, has a sub-triangular section and is undecorated. The bow tapers to a blunt decorated foot. On the reverse of the bow there is a complete solid catchplate. The surface of the brooch has a mid grey/green coloured patina. The brooch measures 56.34mm long and 4.58mm wide across the break and weighs 7.7g.
The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The type is uncertain, but probably dates to the first to second centuries. | 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: | 200 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
