Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch. Brooches of this type date from between 75-175 AD. The head and bow remain largely intact. The spring mechanism, is held in place via a central loop and an axis bar. The pin is missing. The head itself is wide and trumpet shaped. There is an bulbous, crude acanthus decoration in the centre, however the rest of the bow is undecorated. The foot knob and the catchplate are no longer present. The metal is dark brownish-green in colour and the brooch is heavily pitted. Similar to examples in Hattatt, p328, fig.187.
