Description: | An incomplete flat and plain-edged enamelled disc brooch with peripheral lugs of Roman date (AD 80 - 250), missing the curl of the catchplate and much of the enamel. The edge is slightly damaged. It measures 21.87mm in diameter, is 6.34mm thick and weighs 3.4g.The brooch is flat at the front and circular in shape. At the centre is a copper alloy ring 8.7mm in diameter, missing its setting (it is 0.99mm deep). Around this is a thirteen-pointed star with copper alloy walls and dot (pellet) inside each triangular point. The star shape retains much of its red enamel. The area around the star is missing its enamel decoration.To the rear are two pierced D-shaped lugs (one is broken across the piercing, the other has worn-through at the piercing) with intact axis bar, two spring coils, pin and chord between. Below, the catchplate is missing its curl.Cf. Hattatt 1989, p.344, fig. 203, refs. 515, 119 and 1035. In, "Roman Brooch Timeline", Worrell (2007), dates flat enamelled disc brooches to AD80-AD250.
