Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman brooch of the Polden Hill type, dating from 43-100 AD. The brooch is plain; there is no decoration on either the bow or the wings, but the surface has corroded so there may have been more detail originally. The wings are tubular and contain a copper alloy pin bar. The ends are broken and probably once extended into a head loop. A short section of hinged copper alloy pin remain in place. The foot of the brooch and the catch plate are missing. The brooch has a dark green patina and the breaks are patiated. It is 36.1mm long, 27.9mm wide and 21.1mm thick. It weighs 19.27gm. Compare Hattat, Visual Catalogue, Fig. 159.
