Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman T-shaped brooch (AD 70-150).The fully enclosed cylindrical wings, 38.5mm in width, are incomplete and contain a small portion of an iron axis bar. Close to the end of the left hand side of the wings (at the front, as viewed) is a small vertical decorative groove. However, due to corrosion it is not possible to determine whether it extended to the rear. At the centre of the wing there is a slot to accommodate the pin, now missing. About half of the bow survives due to an old break. Where the bow joins the wings it has a width of 10.6mm and the width at the break is 7.3mm. The rear face of the bow is flat. It has moulded decoration at the front in the form of four vertical ribs. The catch-plate is missing.The brooch has a mid-green patina over a pitted surface although there are some areas of corrosion.
