Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch; a headstud type dating from 75 - 200 AD. The brooch is corroded and the foot and catchplate are missing. The bow is distinctly hollow at the back at the top, making it U shaped in section. The front is decorated with transverse lines, and a pointed oval integral headstud. This is position lower down the bow than is usual. There are vertical grooves on the front of the wings. Behind them is a tubular housing for the copper alloy axis bar. The pin is iron but only the head and some ferrous staining survives. The rest of the brooch has a light green patina.
