Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped brooch or fibula with the head slightly raised above the hinge and short tubular wings, missing its pin and the edge of the catchplate. There is in incised ring around the end of each wing, and pairs of parallel transverse incised lines running across the bow at 3 mm intervals, which reduce to 1mm as they progress down the bow, all within an incised longitudinal linear border. The surface of the brooch has mostly corroded away with patches of dark brown patina on the catchplate and the sides of the head and front of the wings.Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar hinged T-shaped brooches on page 302, Fig.161, Nos.906 & 916 which are dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD.Carlyon (1987) illustrates a similar hinged T-shaped brooch in the Carvossa Brooch Report by Sarnia Butcher on page 122, Fig.7, No.18, which is dated from the late 1st to the early 2nd century AD.
