Description: | Roman Brooch: An incomplete cast copper alloy two-piece Colchester derivative brooch with double lug. The lug, at the head of the bow, is pierced twice for taking the axis bar and chord of the sprung pin fitting. A short segment of the axis bar is still in situ. The wings, which are semi-circular in section, are very short and undecorated. The bow, which is sub-circular in section, is also plain in decoration and tapers gently to a point at the foot. The triangular catchplate, complete with the folded return for securing the missing pin in place, is wholly intact.Brooches of this type are dated c.43-100.
