Description: | Cast copper-alloy knee brooch. Roman period, c.AD150-250. Mass: 11.9g; length: 29.1mm; width: 20.0mm; depth: 17.3mm. T-shaped in plan with a flaring foot. Sub S-shaped in profile. The spring is held on a rod between the ends of a sub-cylindrical crossbar. The spring is missing, as it the catchplate on the reverse of the foot. The front of the bow and foot are decorated with recessed spirals. In, "Roman Brooches in Britain: A Technological and Typological Study based on the Richborough Collection", 2004, p.179, Bayley and Butcher note that after a period of perhaps a century where locally produced brooches supplied the British market, knee brooches are the first of the more general continental types seen in Britain.
