Description: | A Roman copper alloy incomplete disc brooch (circa 2nd-early 3rd century). There is some damage to the edge of the brooch and the pin is missing. The front of the brooch is decorated with a raised central circular field that is recessed in the centre. This field may have possibly contained a glass setting. There are two concentric circular grooves that border the central panel. These are decorated with a punched 'S' shaped rope pattern. On the reverse there are the remains of a perforated lug for the pin attachment and the catchplate. The copper alloy has a patchy mid green patina. Dimensions: diameter 31.2mm; width 29.6mm; thickness 3.5mm; weight 7.95g. Reference: Bayley, J. and Butcher, S. 2004. Roman Brooches in Britain. The Society of Antiquaries, London. P. 134-135 no. 390.
