Description: | A Roman copper alloy brooch; a headstud type dating from 75 - 200 AD. The brooch is small. It has a squashed head loop, a tubular housing behind the wings for the axis bar and copper alloy hinged pin, and vertical grooves decorating the front of the square wings. The headstud is an integral circular platform with a empty ring cell round a circular central raised area. The bow is triangular in section. The front is decorated with lozenges of faded blue enamel along the centre of the bow, flanked by triangular cells of decayed enamel, now appearing red in colour. The foot is discoidal with a double collar. The catchplate survives except for the turnover and the pin is complete but bent. The brooch has a grey patina.
