Description: | A Roman, copper alloy disc plate brooch; measuring 20.52mm in length, 16.9mm in width, 4.51mm in depth, and weighing 2.42g. The brooch appears to be similar to 118 in fig. 203 of Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches'.The brooch is circular in form and is rectangular in section. It is decorated with a central raised circular platform. Surrounding this is a circular raised border which has six rounded protrusions, resembling petals. On the outside of this border are traces of bright blue enamel.The reverse of the brooch shows the remains of a catch-plate running almost half way across the brooch, and a small lug surrounded by slight iron staining.
