Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman brooch; a trumpet brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. The brooch has a plain trumpet head, a slender bow with an acanthus button in the centre, flanked by triple collars. The button continues right round the bow. The catchplate is damaged and the foot is bent. It is circular with a triple collar. Behind, there is a sprung pin with a six turns, but only a short length of the pin survives. The spring is held by a loop behind the head. The brooch is very corroded and most of the patina is missing.
