Description: | Roman brooch; cast copper alloy bow-and-fantail brooch of late 1st - late 2nd century date. The brooch has short, stubby wings and a simple, curved bow of circular cross-section. The wings still contain the copper alloy axis bar for the hinged pin, although the pin is now missing. The lower bow is flattened and expanded to form the fantail which, somewhat unusually, is lozengiform in this example. There is a broad, transverse ridge between the bow and the fantail but there is no other extant decoration. There is also no remaining trace of the catchplate. A small section is missing from the bottom of the fantail.Length 37.4mm, width 18.8mm, thickness 13.6mm, weight 7.96gRef: Hattatt 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches' (pp. 315, fig. 174)
