Description: | A Roman copper-alloy Colchester-derivative brooch, dating from the mid to late 1st century AD.The horizontal wings have a convex upper surface and flat underside, the latter interrupted by a horizontal groove which extends from one end to the other. Two pierced lugs are located at the centre of the head's underside and would have held in place the now-missing spring and pin. Only the upper of these lugs survives intact. The bow, which forms a right angle with the head, is of 'D-shaped' section, tapering at the top before becoming parallel-sided. The foot is missing, the well patinated break indicating that this occurred in antiquity.Dimensions: 32.8mm long, 22.3mm wide. Weight: 4.8g.
