Description: | A copper alloy Roman Thealby brooch dating from100 - 200 AD. A small part of the pin and catch plate survive. The foot of the brooch is missing. There is a large integral head loop and the wings are reeled and tubular behind. They hold an axis bar and the hinged pin, all copper alloy. The bow of the brooch is rectangular in section with a hollow down the front. The brooch is 40.2mm long, 21.1mm wide and 17.5mm thick. It weighs 12.38gm. The patina is grey green which could suggest that the brooch was once tinned. For reference see Hattatt 2000. A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches p. 333.
