Description: | A copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. The body of the brooch is curved and the head rounded with a small triangular protrusion to the top. There is a loop to hold the spring behind, but the spring and the pin are missing. The body has an acanthus button which goes right round the bow, with a collar above and below. Part of the catch plate still remains. The foot of the brooch is missing. The brooch has a dark green patina. It has a length of 37.20mm, width 7.46mm, thickness 4.30mm, weight 7.47g. It is similar to Hattatt 2000. A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches p. 328 no: 438, but with a more standard button.
