Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch of the 'trumpet' type c. 75-175AD. The centre of the bow has a simple full round acanthus button with a collar above and below, but the brooch is otherwise undecorated, as is the trumpet. A copper alloy pin bar in a tubular housing and a section of the copper alloy pin remain in place. The pin bar would have extended into a head loop which is now missing. The catch plate and foot are missing. The brooch has a light green patina. It is 45mm long, 20.4mm wide and 27.7mm thick. It weighs12.44gm. Reference: Hattat, p., No. 1523
