Description: | An incomplete and corroded 2nd-century/3rd-century cast copper-alloy Roman plate brooch. The brooch is circular and divided into three zones by bold concentric rings. The central ring is raised and has a diameter of 14.5mm, central within this is a low boss. No decoration, gilding or enamel is visible, the brooch is highly worn and has suffered some circumferential losses. The flat reverse features a catch-plate and pin lug at opposite points of the circumference; both are highly abraded and the pin has been lost. The brooch has a dark green patina with some possible iron corrosion on the reverse by the pin lug. Traces of white concretion within the inner circle are suggestive of adhesive as with a glass centre-boss brooch (cf. Hattatt 2000, 364; fig. 223).
