Description: | A copper alloy Roman knee brooch dating from 150 - 250 AD. The brooch has a sprung pin of which only the spring survives. This is held in the tubular head of the brooch, the axis bar supported in central holes in the end caps of the tube. There is a ridge over the top of the bow, and the top part of the bow swells at the bend. The bow tapers at the ankle and flares slightly at the foot. A long catchplate projects from behind the foot. The brooch is similar to number 1242 on page 335 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue. It has a grey green patina.
