Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman disc brooch, 2-3rd century AD.It is circular in plan with decoration in relief on the front. The decoration consists of a central cross, with rounded arms, inside two concentric circles. The cross was infilled with blue enamel, some of which remains. Outside the circles is a circle of dots and then a raised border meets the edge of the brooch. It is likely some of these fields would also have been filled with enamel but this is now missing.The reverse is plain and has the remnants of the catchplate and pin mechanism. The pin and its mechanism are missing.
