Description: | A cast copper-alloy Aucissa brooch of the early Roman period.The brooch is largely complete, missing only the hinge pin. The hinge for the pin was formed by the rolling of the head back onto itself with a verticle slot for the pin. There is some moulded decoration across the breadth of the head, but no stamp or inscription.The bow has a central ridge decorated with a band containing raised circles down its length. The outer edges of the bow are also raised, creating a grooved effect. Further moulded decoration across the breadth of the base of the bow distinguished the beginning of the foot, otherwise undecorated but ending in a spherical knob. The catchplate is nearly complete.
