Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spring and pin from a Roman brooch, probably of Colchester derivative or similar form. Three spring coils survive intact, extending at one end to a pin that is circular in section and tapers to a sharp point. The opposite end of the spring coil terminates in old breaks. The entire fragment has a worn green patina and traces of corrosion. It measures 30.04mm in length, 9.55mm in width (at coils), 7.76mm in thickness (at coils), 1.86mm in diameter at pin, and 2.19g in weight. This is part of the spring and pin from a Roman brooch, probably of Colchester or derivative form and dating to the 1st or 2nd centuries AD, c.43-120 AD.
