Description: | A Roman copper-alloy knee brooch. The wings are cyldindrical in cross-section and contain a spring. The pin is missing. The bow is wide and arched and has a transverse ridge at the top and the bottom. The lower part of the bow is also wide but concave. The base is flat and the catchplate extends from this on the reverse. This brooch can be classified as a Type 176 under Butcher and Bayley's classification system (Butcher and Bayley 2004, p. 180). Type 176 knee brooches are abundant on the German limes in the period AD 150 to 200 and are also widespread (though not numerous) in Britain.
