Description: | Cast copper alloy disc or plate brooch with a central raised boss, 7 mm in diameter, within a raised concentric circle, 13 mm in diameter, and two raised concentric bands inside the edge of the brooch. The boss has a central circular depression that is 2 mm in diameter. The back of the brooch is missing its pin but there are two slightly protruding side lugs which are flattened at the back where the pin would have been mounted. There is no evidence for enamelling, and there is only enough depth for any inlay between the boss and the next concentric ring.Crummy (1995) illustrates a similar disc brooch from Colchester on page 16, Fig.14, No.84 which is dated to the Claudian period, c.AD 41-54.Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar flat and plain-edged disc brooches on page 344, Fig.203, Nos.1027-8, and an example of a disc brooch with two peripheral side lugs on page 355, Fig.204, No.1052, which are all dated to the 2nd century AD.
