Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman knee brooch dating to the period AD 150 to 220.The brooch is missing the sping, pin and most of the catchplate. It has a cylindrical wing casing which would have held the spring in place. There is a rib below the head. The bow is widest at the knee, narrowing towards the simple rounded foot. The catchplate is broken.This brooch does not fit particularly well into Butcher and Bayley's knee brooch typology. However, it is perhaps most similar to Type 176a, with its cylindrical wing casing.
