Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman T-shape brooch. The brooch has a cylindrical head, with hinged pin fitting (though the pin itself is now missing). The bow curves downwards from the centre of the head and is decorated with a raised, ridged central section. The reverse of the bow is concave. The leg tapers downwards culminating in a rounded foot decorated with two horizontal grooves. A complete, curved catch-plate sits to the rear of the leg and foot. A very similar brooch may be seen illustrated in Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.158) fig.127, no.T135. They classify such brooches as 'initial T-shaped brooches' (ibid. p.159), part of an early group, which are usually hinged, non-enamelled and lacking the headloop that many of later T-shaped brooches. These they date from mid to late 1st century ADLength: 47.18mm, Width (of head): 27.93mmWeight: 15.03g
