Description: | Possibly part of a copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. Only the button and the lower bow survives. The upper bow is circular in section and curves backwards before the worn and patinated break. The acanthus button is just a plain projecting disc which extends right round the bow. Below it is a bulbous moulding on the front of the bow. The lower bow is D shaped in section and tapers to a point where the foot is missing. It is quite corroded, but there is no evidence of a catchplate, casting doubt on the identification as a brooch.
