Description: | A Roman, copper alloy disc plate brooch; measuring 20.68mm in length, 19.01mm in width, 6.22mm in depth, and weighing 2.66g. 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, exempting damage to the outer rim on its right-hand side. The brooch's design consists of a central raised circle, encompassed by a similarly raised six-pointed star shape. Each point of this hexagonal design terminates with a circular protrusion. The outer portion of this design contains a blue-green enamel, whilst the inside is filled with red.On the reverse of the brooch, there are the remains of the lug and the catchplate coloured by iron staining, but no evidence of the pin itself.
