Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman plate brooch dating from the 1st century AD. The brooch has a fully enclosed spring and integral catchplate, but the copper pin is missing. The brooch has a sub-circular upper part with moulded horizontal ridges and an 'X' design below. It has a rectangular foot with a double 'X' design; some of these lines are formed of small punched dots. There is a horizontal line both above and beneath these X's. The brooch is flat in profile, and no direct comparison could be found in any of Hattatt's publications.
