Description: | A Roman copper alloy lozenge-shaped object, possibly an incomplete brooch (AD43-410). The object has a central lozenge-shaped section with a raised border creating a cell in which enamel may have originally been inlaid. Projecting from opposing points of the lozenge is a globular terminal. From one of these terminals a flat tab projects. The reverse is flat with no evidence of brooch pin mechanisms. Hattatt illustrated a lozenge-shaped plate brooch from the 2nd century AD (2000:348 no. 1089) which is similar in shape but the absence of even a scar where the catchplate or pin would have attached to the front of this object suggests it might not be a brooch.Dimensions: length: 20.76mm; width: 15.04mm; thickness: 1.61mm; weight: 0.19g.Reference: Hattatt, R. 2000.
