Description: | A Roman, copper alloy disc plate brooch; measuring 19.61mm in length, 14.97mm in width, 3.39mm in depth, and weighing 1.81g. 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 intended to be circular in shape, though much of its outer rim is now missing, leaving behind an oval-like portion of the brooch. What remains of the brooch's central design is a raised circle, bordered by a similarly raised outline of a hexagonal shape. Each point of the hexagon seems to have been decorated with a slightly extended circular protrusion, giving the overall impression of a star shape. Upon the central raised circle there is evidence of residual yellow enamel, whereas outside of the star's outline we can see deposits of dark blue enamel.On the reverse of the brooch, whilst the lug and pin are missing, the remains of a catchplate run along its length.
