Description: | Roman Brooch: Fragment of a Roman brooch. Only the head of the brooch, which is very worn, survives. The head is solidly cast with short wings and a central slit for taking the hinged pin. The hinge part of the pin remains in situ. The axis bar is still in place and the ends of this can be seen at either end of the wings. There is a lengthways shallow hollow where the wings abut the head of the bow. What remains of the bow is circular in section. The brooch may be a dolphin type brooch but as so little of it survives it is not possible to be certain.The brooch has been dated AD. 55-100 in line with the usual dates for hinged dolphin brooches.
