Description: | Triangular foot from a Roman wing-and-fanbow or Aesica brooch. The foot is a broad plate, now trapezoid in shape with an old break along the upper edge. On the back is a vertical catchplate running down the centre, it ends level with the foot but starts short of the current break. It narrows towards the upper edge which is bent over to create a groove for the pin. There are suggestions of a stamped design of lines on the front but this is now unclear due to corrosion and wear. It is 17.3mm long, 22.6mm wide and 10.1mm thick including the catchplate, 1.6mm thick excluding and weighs 3.26 grams.Because of the fragmentary nature, it is impossible to be certain which brooch type this fragment comes from although other Aesica brooches are represented on the site. All these types are dated to the mid 1st century AD, c.43-75 AD.
