Description: | A Roman brooch of the headstud type, c. 75-200AD. The bow of the brooch is decorated with a single lateral groove running down the centre. This groove contains the traces of enamel that may have been red but has now become a dark brown colour. The headstud is missing, leaving a hole in the bow. The wings of the brooch have traces of blue enamel in triangular cells, and red in the space between them. The pin bar remains in place and there is a short section of copper alloy pin also remaining. The foot of the brooch and the catch plate have broken off and are missing. The brooch has a light green patina. It is 33.9mm long, 15.8mm wide and 19.7mm thick. It weighs 6.8gm. Reference: Hattat, p.332, No. 940.
