Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman (mid to late 1st century) Colchester derivative (two-piece) brooch.The horizontal wings have a flat underside, at the centre of which is a pair of perforated lugs. The lower of these lugs is damaged and would have held in place the now-missing axis bar; within the above lug is a remnant of the external chord. The bow forms a shallow curve and is of 'D-shaped' section, its long sides converging towards a pointed foot. The catchplate is unperforated and is missing its rolled outer side. The surfaces of the brooch are corroded in places. It measures 42.4mm long, 14.3mm wide (wings) and weighs 3.96g.
