Description: | An incomplete copper alloy T-shaped Roman brooch. Only the head and upper part of the brooch remain with the lower catchment part of the bow missing through damage. The ends of the spring cover, and the middle areas of the cover that flank the bow are decorated on their upper surface by pairs of grooves. The part of the bow where it rises from the head is wider than the lower section and the extended sides are decorated with incised lines giving a rope like appearance. The upper part of the bow where it rises from the head is in turn decorated with a central panel consisting of three columns of small squares running all along the arched section of the bow. The pin is broken where it exits from the middle of the spring cover. Brooches of this type are shown in Hattat; A Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches (2007) p302/304; and are dated from the 1st to 2nd century AD. The brooch is 34.15mm long and 33.38mm wide.
