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 and the pin missing through damage. The end of one spring cover is also missing. The end of the remaining spring cover is decorated by a pair of grooves. In plan the the bow of the brooch has a triangular shape, the part where it joins the head being widest. The underside of the bow here is slightly dished. The part of the bow where it arches upwards from the head is flared along its sides making it wider than the rest of the bow. The upper face of the bow features a raised central longitudinal rib that runs the length of the upward arching section. 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 42.52mm long and 24.04mm wide
