Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. The trumpet head has a loop behind it to hold the pin mechanism. At the top of the loop a short stub projects above the head of the brooch. The pin is sprung and has a coin of three turns on each side of the loop. Only half of the pin survives. The acanthus button on the slender bow is flanked by a triple collar above and below. These and the button are full round. The lower bow has a groove on each side and terminates in a double reeled discoidal foot. A short spike projects from the base. The catchplate is almost complete. The brooch has a dark green patina.
