Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman Trumpet Brooch, dating to between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The fragment consists of a small segment of the brooch body which ends in a double ribbed semi-circular foot and the adjacent reverse surface with a trapezoidal catch plate. The body segment is sub-triangular in plan. The catch plate is flat in section and has a curled edge to the right which would have held the pin in place. The rest of the brooch body, head, spring, and pin are missing. The brooch fragment measures 22.61 mm long (foot to body fragment), 17.57 mm long (catch plate), 12.97 max overall width, 2.66 thick (body), 1.51 mm thick (catch plate). It weighs 2.57 grams.Cf.
