Description: | Roman copper lion alloy brooch?, 29mm long, 18mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in poor condition and weighs 3.63grams. The object consists of a very worn and incomplete plate which is sub rectangular in form and has the traces of three limbs and a muzzle remaining. The reverse has a linear scar from a catchplate and an unusual circle and dot scar, which would have held the pin.The object looks a bit like a boar but its form (minus a leg or two) matches that of a lion brooch illustrated in Hattatt's ancient brooches. eg 1194, Figg 222 Hattatt, R. 'A visual catalogue of ancient brooches'
