Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped brooch with the remains of part of the spindle held inside one of the tubular wings, still visible in the notch behind the head of the brooch.The pin is missing as is its catch plate which would have been at the back of the foot of the bow. The bow is triangular in plan and semi-circular in section, tapering to a ciricular section foot, which has siince broken off. On either side of the head of the bow, there appears to be a circular depression, which may have originally been enamelled, and the wings appear to have a pattern of alternating circular recesses with those in relief. The brooch is also pitted and corroded all over its surface so that the decoration is not clear.A similar example from Cornwall on the database can be seen in record CORN-15A4B1.Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar hinged T-shaped brooch with a plain central bow that tapers to a point on page 302, Fig.161, No.916, which is dated from the 1st-2nd century AD.Bayley and Butcher (2004) illustrate a similar hinged T-shaped brooch with a ribbed and knurled crossbar on page 94, Fig.74, No.223, which is dated from the mid to late 1st century AD.Carlyon (1987) illustrates a similar Colchester-derivative brooch with ribbed mouldings on the crossbar and a plain T-shaped brooch from Carvossa, Probus on pages 122 &125, Figs.7 & 9, Nos.21 & 25, which are dated from the late 1st to the 2nd century AD.
