Description: | A Roman, copper alloy disc plate brooch; measuring 21.39mm in length, 20.33mm in width, 5.83mm in depth, and weighing 4.42g. The brooch appears to be similar to 518 in fig. 203 of Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches'.The brooch is circular in shape, though small portions of its outer rim are now missing. The focal design upon the brooch is worn but strongly indicates a central raised circle, encompassed by a similarly raised outline of a six-pointed star. Each point of the star ends with a circular knob.On the reverse of the brooch there are the remains of a catchplate running the length of the brooch, as well as a portion of the lug. The pin itself however, is missing.
