Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch. Only the bow and foot remain intact. The head, spring and pin no longer survive. There are two raised collars encircling the front of the brooch at the base of the head followed straight away by the elaborate acanthus decoration. Below this are two further collars. Below this decoration is a straight lower bow which is triangular in section. At the base of the bow is the circular foot of the brooch. To the reverse of the bow, a fragment of the catchplate can be seen though most of the catch no longer survives. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and survives in a good condition. The brooch is 41.9mm long, 8.9mm wide, 11.8mm thick and weighs 6.1g. Brooches of this type date from between 75-175 AD. Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt p326, fig.185.
