Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch; type uncertain owing to corrosion and damage, but probably dating from the 1st Century AD, perhaps a Colchester derivative.The head of the brooch and the pin are missing. The bow is narrow and oval in section, wider at the top and tapering to a point at the foot. There is a possible decorative panel on the top part of the surviving bow, but this could also be corrosion. The break at the top of the bow is ancient. There is no evidence of a catchplate, but the foot of the bow is rolled into a tiny loop. It is not clear whether this is damage or intentional. The brooch is brown with pitting and areas of turquoise corrosion.
