Description: | A Roman copper alloy brooch dating from the late 1st century AD. The Brooch has a rounded open cylindrical head, 19.1mm across, with a pierced knop to hold the separate spring. Four turns of the spring remain as does a triangular protrusion on the front of the bow. The bow protrudes from the head by 90 degrees then bends through 45 degrees before straightening back to 90 degrees; creating a 'P' shaped profile. Two fragments of catch plate protrude from the reverse. The brooch is a two piece Colchester derivative probably dating to AD. 50-100. The brooch is 38.5mm long and the bow at its widest part is 6.6mm. The brooch is 4.1mm thick and weighs 5.4 grams.
