Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch, possibly a Thealby Mine type dating from 100 - 200 AD. It is 32mm long, 16.6mm wide and 14.16mm thick. It weighs 6.87gm. There is a tubular housing for the copper alloy axis bar and copper alloy hinged pin. There are the remains of an integral head loop. The wings are decorated with vertical ridges, but they and the head of the brooch are very corroded and damaged. The bow of the brooch is also corroded but seems to be plain. The foot is missing. Thealby Mine brooches have a North Easter distribution pattern, mainly being found between Sheffield and Middlesbrough on the East of the Pennines.
