Description: | An incomplete and corroded 2nd-century/3rd-century cast copper-alloy Roman plate brooch. The brooch is broadly lozengeform in plan, with four opposing protrousions located at each tip. One of these protrousions conceals the double semicircular lug in which the pin would have sat; only the head of the pin survives now corroded in place. Opposite, on the longest axis, a protrousion conceals a corroded incomplete catch-plate. The projection expands slightly before the tip. There are two other projections, set at a ninety degree angle from the pin and catch-plate, both appear to be incomplete due to old breaks. In the centre of the brooch is a circular perforation filled with iron corrosion product which is visible around the perforation on both the front and reverse faces. The brooch appears to be undecorated and is corroded in places. It has a light green and brown patina.
