Description: | An extremely worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of probable Langton Down type. Part of the spring cover and the upper areas of the bow survive intact, the remainder of the brooch now missing due to old breaks. The spring casing is cylindrical in form and terminates at both ends in old breaks. The bow itself has a flat back and possible moulded front face. Due to the poor preservation of the object it is unclear whether the front of the bow or the spring casing had incised or moulded decoration, or indeed what form this may have taken. This example measures 16.15mm in length, 19.17mm in width at bow, and weighs 3.23g. This is probably a fragment from the head of a Roman Langton Down brooch of 1st century, c.25-65 AD, date.
