Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 100-200) copper alloy plate brooch, lozenge shape with lugs, missing the hinge mechanism and pin, the lugs and just less than half of the brooch and catchplate. It measures 20.23x16.10x9.30mm and weighs 2.40g. Its original length would have been c.30mm.The brooch was originally lozenge-shaped, and raised in three steps. The topmost step is filled with the remains of a white enamel. The steps below are worn and any decoration is lost. To the reverse is a circular pit 12.57mm in diameter below two pierced D-shaped lugs (for the axis bar). To the front of the brooch at this point is a curving lug, presumably originally circular in shape.See Richard Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches' page 348, fig. 207 for parallels.
