Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman disc brooch with peripheral lugs, dating to the 2nd century AD. The brooch would originally have had 10 lugs, but only three now survive in fragmentary form. The decoration consists of a recessed outer circle filled with red enamel, which surrounds an inner wheel design of eight triangular panels arranged around a solid central circle. The spokes of the wheel are filled alternately with red and blue enamel, although most of the blue enamel has long since disappeared. On the reverse of the brooch, only the pin mount and part of the catchplate survives.
