Description: | A cast copper alloy disc brooch of probable second century AD date. The circular brooch measures 27mm in diameter and has a thickness of 1mm. It weighs 3.99g. On the front of the brooch there are traces of lead-tin solder which would have held in place an applied (probably repoussé) panel which is missing. On the reverse is an incomplete hinged pin and a rectangular catchplate with a curving end. Examples of similar Roman plate brooches with applied panels can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 344, fig. 203, nos. 138, 630, 631, 1077 and 1578).
