Description: | A copper alloy Roman plate brooch dating from the 2nd century AD. It is oval shaped with a central design of a rounded oval cell with a thick wall. Only stubs of the pin mechanism and catchplate survive, and the pin is missing. It has a length of 24.61mm, width 14.92mm, thickness 1.77mm, weight 2.58g. It would probably once have been enamelled. For reference see Hattatt 2000. A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches p. 356 no: 1434, this is similar in shape and with more elaborate detail.
