Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch. The brooch is extremely worn and corroded, making it difficult to determine any fine detail. It appears to have a very small head, with two curved protrusions to the rear forming the only remains of the pin fitting. There is a constriction at the top of the bow where it joins to the head, creating a very slender section. Below this the bow widens abruptly, becoming sub-circular in section. There does appear to be waist-moulding extending around the circumference of the bow, although this is difficult to make out. The lower bow narrows again above the foot, but below this point the rest of the brooch is missing. The simple design, circumferential waist-moulding and lack of headloop suggest that this brooch belongs to Bayley and Butcher's (2004, pp.160-1) Group A, the origins of which date to pre AD 75, but which continued well into the 2nd century AD.Length: 36.32mm, Width: 7.90mm, Thickness: 6.06mm, Weight: 3.96g
