Description: | Very corroded cast cu-alloy Roman headstud brooch of late 1st or early 2nd century AD in date. It is a large sturdy brooch, its bow, foot, head and loop still intact - only the pin and part of the spring are missing. It has a swivelling wire chain loop at the back. The axis bar was a thin cylindrical sleeve into which the curved ends of the wire loop were inserted. It does not seem to have ever carried a head stud; the bow is undecorated. The upper surface of the wings was plain, but there are bundle of moulded groove on the outside of the winds. The brooch is very similar to LANCUM-D9E0D2 in size and structure, but somewhat plainer. | 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: | 43
