Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman disc brooch dating to the second century AD. The brooch is circular and is inlais with enamel panels that form a sunburst design around a central double-concentric ring. The outer field surrounding the sunburst is filled by blue enamel, while the sunburst design itself is a dark red / black coloured enamel. The pin mechanism would have been hinged, but only part of the catchplate and the loop for the pin and hinge survive. An exact comparison can be found in Hattatt (2007) No.119.
