Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman (150-300 AD) enamelled oval plate brooch, missing its pin. It measures 27.10x22.08 and weighs 5.38 grams.The central setting is missing. Around this central area is a copper alloy band. A similar band flanks the outside edge, though is worn and broken away in places. The area between the two bands is a single cell filled with blue. The reverse of the brooch has a single pierced lug for the axis bar and a catchplate.Bayley and Butcher comment of this brooch type that most examples occur in central and southern Britain and very few from abroad. Those that have been found in datable contexts suggest a mid-2nd century to 3rd century date (2004 p.178).
