Description: | This is a head of a cast copper-alloy Roman brooch dating to the Flavian period 69-96 AD. It is a T-shaped 'Colchester derivative' type. The bow, foot and pin are missing. The wings of the bow are cylindrical and there is a rectangular gap where the pin would have protruded. One of the wings is damaged, allowing us to see the axial rod within. The head of the bow begins to taper into the bow.A parallel can be seen in Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.188) Number 127 T121B.
