Description: | A copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch of Roman (1st century) date.The wings are of thin section and have flat surfaces. From the centre of the underside of the head projects a remnant of the now-missing spring; above this is a projecting strip which has been folded back over the head, forming a loop into which the external chord would have fitted. The bow is of 'D-shaped' section, the sides gradually converging towards a pointed foot, where there is the remnant of a catchplate. The brooch is bent and corroded. It measures 49.2mm long, 13.1mm wide (head) and weighs 3.23g.
