Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman headstud brooch dating from the 1st- 2nd c.The brooch is largely complete, missing the foot and catchplate, and most of the pin. In general, the metal is corroded and obscures any decoration, though a socket is visible at the top of the bow, where a separate headstud would have been attached. The head has a cylindrical casing cast integral which holds the axel and the looped base of a hinge pin. The arms are sub-square in section.
