Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch of Roman (early to mid 1st century) date.The parallel-sided wings are incomplete. Two prongs at the centre of the head's underside represent parts of the integrally cast spring mechanism. The top of the bow has been bent into a right-angle. It is of flattened-oval section, gradually tapering to a sharp point at the foot. There is no trace of a catchplate and the smooth nature of the bow suggests that the brooch may have been converted into a pin. It measures 38.3mm long, up to 4.9mm wide (head) and weighs 1.6g.
